Burglaries surge on Big Island
July 03, 2012
They are hitting HPP and Beaches, the police are not posting every one because there have been 2 recently in my local area (within two blocks) and they aren't showing up on their website. From somebody else that knows, there were 8 burglaries in Shores in the past month alone. The reality is about 50% of the houses in Shores are snow-bird houses or mainland vacation homes, furnished but vacant. The burglars are going around pounding on the doors, if somebody answers they take off, if not, they are casing it. The dogs are pretty worthless because they are barking all the time. One of the people commenting on the article said he came back to a burglarized home in HPP and they had bludgeoned his dog to death.
