Police are investigating a reported robbery Saturday in Kalapana.
A 19-year-old man was asleep in a white sedan parked on the ocean-side shoulder area of Route 137 about 200 to 300 feet north of a turnaround area early Saturday morning when two unknown males reportedly broke into the vehicle and assaulted him, police said.
During the assault, an unknown female also entered the vehicle and stole property from the victim. The suspects then fled the area, possibly in a pickup truck. The victim sustained minor injuries but declined medical treatment, police said.
One of the male suspects is described as possibly Japanese with a short stocky build and a fair complexion. He was wearing jeans and a black “Tap Out” T-shirt.
The other male suspect is described as approximately 5-foot-3 with a fair complexion and buzzed hair.
The female suspect is described as local with a dark complexion and brown shoulder-length hair. She was wearing blue jeans and a blue tank top.
Police classified the incident as a robbery, an unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle and an assault.
