A Puna man reported that when he arrived at his home on the 16-2700 block of Ainaloa Drive on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 7, he noticed a piece of equipment had been moved.

He reviewed surveillance images and determined that two unknown men had entered his house shortly before 11 a.m. and moved the item from one room to another. Nothing appeared to be missing.
