Police seek suspect after mechanical problem foils Mapunapuna bank robbery
Honolulu police are looking for a man who attempted to rob the First Hawaiian Bank in Mapunapuna last week, CrimeStoppers announced Wednesday.
The robbery occurred at about 3:20 p.m. Thursday when an unknown man walked into the bank and handed the teller a demand note.

The man fled on foot.
He is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with a slim build. He was wearing a black, long-sleeved hoodie, black sweat pants with white stripe, and a black mask.
