Hawaii Island police are seeking assistance from anyone with information about a burglary that occurred at a food establishment in Waimea.

South Kohala Patrol officers responded Thursday to a reported burglary at a Shopping Center food court. Officers determined that sometime between 10:35 p.m. July 3 and 8:05 a.m. Thursday someone unlawfully entered a restaurant located in the food court by damaging the building’s exterior walls. Once inside, the suspect removed a brown colored safe, measuring about 3-feet wide and 3-feet tall, with a combination dial on the front. The safe contained an undisclosed amount of cash and documents.

Police ask anyone with any information about this incident or anyone who might know the identity of the suspect to contact Officer Edward Lewis at 887-3080 or Edward.Lewis@hawaiicounty.gov, or call the department’s nonemergency line at 935-3311.
