Police swarmed suspects on UH-Hilo campus

HILO – Last week a police chase around the University of Hawaii Hilo campus snarled traffic and put a nearby pre-school on lockdown. Now, details are emerging on the suspects who were arrested that day and crimes they allegedly committed in Puna.

Police say a Hilo couple, Gregory and Aubry Harper, were seen breaking into a vehicle at the Hilo Bayfront shortly after 7 am Thursday, March 5th. The two left the scene after being confronted, eventually being caught at UH-Hilo.

Shortly after 7 a.m. Thursday, a concerned citizen saw a man breaking into a vehicle at the Hilo Bayfront area. The man, after being confronted by the citizen, left in a vehicle being driven by a woman. This vehicle was later located by South Hilo patrol officers in the area of the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.Hawaii County Police on March 10, 2015

On Sunday (March 1), the caretaker of a Kalapana Seaview Estates home reported confronting a man and a woman leaving a home on Moaniala Street. The pair left in a vehicle with items that had been removed from the home. On Monday (March 2), a Leilani Estates woman reported finding that her home on Malama Street had been broken into and that a television and other items had been removed from within.
