Big Island police renew plea to help find gas station robbery suspect
Big Island police are renewing a request for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in a gas station robbery last month in Hilo.
The man, armed with a knife, entered the 76 gas station at Ainako Avenue and Kaumana Drive about 7:45 p.m. Sept. 25, police said.
He demanded money, then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, possibly in a white pickup. The victim was not injured.
Police previously requested information about possible witnesses in a dark Scion with custom rims. The Scion has since been located, police said.
Police ask that anyone who may know the man in the surveillance photo call officers Donovan Kohara or Clive Okino at the department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311. Anonymous tips can be made by calling Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo or 329-8181 in Kona.
