HILO, Hawaii: Two victims were reportedly bound by armed, masked suspects at their home on Ainaola Drive in the upper Waiakea Uka during a home invasion on Monday night (July 9th). Hawaii County Police have the details.

Big Island police are investigating a home invasion that occurred Monday night (July 9) in Hilo.

Shortly after 10:30 p.m., officers responded to a home on Ainaola Drive in the upper Waiakea Uka area after receiving a report that two armed and masked men had confronted the occupants. Police learned that a 72-year-old man and his 51-year-old son had been at home when the two armed suspects entered the house through an unlocked door and demanded money.

The victims were reportedly bound by the suspects, who then proceeded to search through the house. The suspects also reportedly entered an adjoining home before fleeing the area with an undisclosed amount of money.

Neither victim sustained any injuries in this incident, which is classified as a first-degree burglary, first-degree terroristic threatening, first-degree robbery, and first-degree unlawful imprisonment.

Police ask that anyone with information on this case contact Detective Wendell Carter by phone at 961-2378 or by email at wcarter@co.hawaii.hi.us or Detective Ernest Matsumoto Jr. by phone at 961-2379 or by email at ematsumoto@co.hawaii.hi.us.
