Four suspects arrested for alleged robbery, theft of Maui hotel guest

Four people have been arrested for first degree robbery and first degree theft after allegedly entering a Kahului hotel guest’s room with a knife, the Maui Police Department said in a news release.

On Tuesday morning the victim reported that the suspects, a 29-year-old Wailuku resident, a 37-year-old Waihee resident and a 40-year-old Waiehu resident, entered his room with a knife and stole his belongings before fleeing.

The suspects left the scene in a blue Dodge sedan, but police officers were able to identify its license plate and eventually arrest the suspects.

Another suspect, a 35-year-old Wailuku resident, was arrested today in connection with the case — also for first degree robbery and theft.

No injuries were reported, and the suspects remain in custody.

MPD did not identify the hotel where the victim was staying.
