Police arrested and charged a West Hawaii man in connection with a car break-in Tuesday in Captain Cook.

The car, which was unlocked and parked on Honaunau Beach Road, was entered sometime between 9 and 10:30 a.m. When the owner returned, she determined electronics, a driver’s license, credit cards and cash were taken from the car.

Investigation led to the Wednesday arrest of 36-year-old Shaun J. Spencer of Captain Cook. On Thursday, he was charged with first-degree entry into a motor vehicle and second-degree theft. His bail was set at $20,000 and his initial court appearance was Friday.
