LIHU‘E — Kaua‘i Police Department officers are continuing to investigate no few than four burglaries that took place along the Kapa‘a Coconut Coast resort area, three on Oct. 17, county press releases state.
The first incident took place at the Plantation Hale in Waipouli between 3 and 4 a.m. where five women were sleeping in a unit.
One of them awoke and saw a man running toward the back screen door.
The woman immediately checked their belongings and discovered that some items were missing, including cash.
She told police that the suspect fled on foot and described him as having long curly hair and a thin build.
Another burglary occurred at Kaua‘i Marine and Mower between 3:44 and 3:50 a.m.
In that incident, the suspect apparently drove his pickup truck into the front door to gain entry, and stole two generators. He then drove away from the scene.
The third burglary that took place Sunday morning happened at the Kaua‘i Sands Hotel, although the exact time has not been determined.
A German woman who was alone in a ground-floor unit reported that when she awoke at approximately 4:30 a.m., she discovered that her bag containing U.S. and German currency along with her passport was missing.
Some of the items that were taken from the Plantation Hale and Kaua‘i Sands Hotel were later found in the area between these two hotels.
The last incident occurred Wednesday morning around 12:16 a.m. at Mokihana of Kaua‘i.
A 39-year-old female visitor was awakened at approximately 12:16 am when she heard her cell phone drop on the floor of her hotel room. She then saw a man fleeing her room through the sliding door.
The intruder was described as being approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build.
A messenger bag containing a camera, MP3 player, driver’s license, passport, credit cards and cash was reported stolen.
Anyone with information about any of these incidents is urged to call KPD dispatch, 241-1711, or Crime Stoppers, 241-1887.
