CrimeStoppers and the Honolulu Police Department are seeking the public’s help identifying a man wanted for robbing a woman at a Liliha bus stop.

At about 1:10 p.m. on Sunday, the female victim was sitting at a bus stop fronting 1810 Liliha St. when an unknown male approached her and snatched her purse. Although she attempted to hold onto her purse, the suspect forcefully yanked it from her grasp, then fled in a white, four-door Honda that was awaiting him.
