ETA: He was arrested Saturday 10am
Hawai'i Island police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating an 18-year-old Hilo man wanted for suspicion of a burglary that happened yesterday (Thursday) in Puna.
Darren K. Ornellas is described as a local male, 5’5” tall, weighing about 135 pounds, tan complexion, short brown hair, and a light mustache. He is known to operate a brownish colored 1992 Honda 4 door sedan with dark colored rims with a chrome finish ring, bearing license plate HLS-049.
On April 3, 2014 at about 2:30 p.m., police responded to an in progress burglary at a residence on 23rd Avenue in Hawaiian Paradise Park. A 62-year-old Keaau man reported seeing a suspicious male proceed to the front door of his neighbor’s residence and then to the rear of the residence, where he discovered signs of a break-in.
The neighbor confronted the suspect as he was seen running from the residence and towards another residence, where he subsequently ran into the bushes.
Police learned that cash and electronic devices were stolen from the residence.

A mnemonic to remember the license plate:
HLS = Hilo Larceny Suspect
049 = Alaska, 49th State or San Fran 49ers
Please look out for this automobile this weekend.
Thanks
