Bikinis, rash guards among stolen goods from Kona surf shop

Thieves broke into a Kona surf clothing store on Hawaii island early Tuesday, making off with bikinis, blouses, rash guards and other attire.

Hawaii island police said they responded to a call about the burglary at Oshima Surf at 79- 7400 Mamalahoa Highway in Kainaliu at 2:23 a.m, when someone in a nearby business heard suspicious noises and saw a dark Toyato Tacoma truck being driven away and headed north on Mamalahoa.

Patrol officers found the shop had been broken into, and that surveillance video showed four burglars with their faces obscured grabbing clothing and leaving with it.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311. Working on the case are Det. Roylen Valera at 326-4646, extension 224 (or by email at roylen.valera@hawaiicounty.gov); and Walter Ah Mow at 326-4646, extension 238, (or by email at walter.ahmow@hawaiicounty.gov).

Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous may call the islandwide Crime Stoppers number at 961-8300 and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
