LIHU‘E — As Kaua‘i Police Department Lt. Sherwin Kaleo Perez looks over the results of arrests made since the beginning of regular publication of Most Wanted and Outstanding Warrants stories in the newspaper, he said he realizes the stories are making a difference.
People are coming forward with tips on whereabouts of wanted persons, some are turning themselves in, and some dangerous people are being taken off the streets as a result, he said.
