Sketch of Puna robbery suspect

Hawaiʻi Island police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects wanted in connection with a home invasion robbery Monday evening (June 19) in Puna.

At 11:49 p.m. police responded to a residence in the 18-4000 block of North Glenwood Road in Mt. View after a 54-year-old man and his 10- year-old son were awakened by two masked suspects in their home, one being armed with a shotgun.

During the incident, there was a struggle between the victim and one of the suspects. During this struggle, the shotgun was fired once but no one was shot. At that time, the victim was able to remove that suspect’s mask and see his face. Both suspects fled with a small safe and its contents.

The victim sustained minor injuries from being punched in the struggle and was treated at the scene by medics. His 10-year-old son was not injured.

Police are releasing a composite drawing of the gunman. He is described as a Caucasian male in his late teens to early 20s, 5-feet-5 to 5-feet 7-inches, 130 to 150 pounds with a slim build. He had dark colored eyes and hair and was last seen wearing a black jacket and black pants.

The second suspect is also believed to be a male in his late teens to early 20s, 5-feet-8 to 5-feet-10-inches, 130 to 150 pounds with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie and black pants.
