A Kona man is facing a myriad of theft offenses following an incident at Kekaha Kai State Park where a vehicle was broken into and several unauthorized credit card transactions were made at Queen’s Marketplace.
The reported crimes occurred on April 4. Twenty-seven-year-old Siekisiteni Fukofuka, Jr., is facing first-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, second-degree identity theft, fraudulent use of a credit card, second-degree theft, two counts of third-degree theft and fourth-degree theft.
At the time of his arrest, Fukofuka was also wanted on an unrelated outstanding warrant and was pending several unrelated matters in family court.
