Police seek leads in home invasion

Police are seeking the public’s help to identify two suspects wanted in connection with a home invasion robbery late Monday night in Puna.

At 11:49 p.m., police responded to a residence in the 18-4000 block of North Glenwood Road in Mountain View after a 54-year-old man and his 10- year-old son were awakened by two masked suspects in their home, one armed with a shotgun.

During the incident, there was a struggle between the victim and one of the suspects. During this struggle, the shotgun discharged but no one was hit. At that time, the victim was able to remove that suspect’s mask and see his face. Both suspects fled with a small safe and its contents.

The victim sustained minor injuries from being punched in the struggle and was treated at the scene by medics. His 10-year-old son was uninjured.

Police are releasing a composite drawing of the gunman. He is described as a Caucasian male in his late teens to early 20s, 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-7, 130-150 pounds with a slim build, dark eyes and hair. He was wearing a black jacket and black pants.
