On Dec. 27, a male reported that while he was driving a tow truck in the area of Kaohuwalu Drive and Highway 130 near Pahoa, he was confronted by two males in a gray (possibly Chevy) Sport Utility Vehicle.
The two males then assaulted the tow truck driver while he was in the tow truck and removed an undisclosed amount of cash.
The first male suspect is described as being in his 30s, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10, weighing approximately 120-130 lbs. with brown eyes, fair skin, acne on his face and medium length bushy black hair.

Police ask anyone who knows the identities of these men to call the Police Department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311 or Detective Sandor Finkey at 961-2384.
