An Ocean View man and woman face an array of charges following a burglary investigation, police said late Monday.

Officers arrested 21-year-old Nalu Elaisa and 31-year-old Klevette Kawaileihua Kainoa after a burglary on Paradise Parkway. A neighbor reportedly confronted the male suspect, who allegedly tried to run him over after saying he was calling the police.

Investigation led to the identification of Nalu Elaisa as the responsible suspect, police said.

Elaisa was apprehended and officers discovered the vehicle he was using at the time of the burglary was stolen. A search warrant on the stolen vehicle turned up drugs and paraphernalia plus stolen items from the burglary, leading to charges of burglary, reckless endangering, terroristic threatening, driving a stolen vehicle, promotion of a dangerous drug, marijuana possession and drug paraphernalia.

He was being detained in lieu of $23,500 bail.

Kainoa was arrested on suspicion of burglary, theft and a drug offense.

The investigation is continuing, police said.
