This break-in follows one at the DOFAW Hilo Baseyard last November. During that crime, two trucks, a UTV, and a lift trailer were taken, but all of that equipment has been recovered. More than 100 smaller items…equipment used by a forest restoration project…were also stolen and have not been recovered. Two suspects were arrested by Hawai‘i County Police in January.
Anyone with information on last night’s crimes is asked to contact the Honolulu Police Department or DOCARE at 643-DLNR or submit anonymous information via the DLNRTip app.
