Agriculture Theft
Theft of agricultural crops, livestock, equipment, chemicals, fertilizers, materials and supplies severely impacts the livelihood of the local producers we depend on to provide jobs and food for our county. Unfortunately, the incidences of trespassing and theft are under-reported. This lack of statistical data reduces the legislative urgency for financial support to increase staffing and investment in anti-theft equipment that the police need to curb these invisible criminal activities.
Unsolved Homicides
Hawaiʻi Police Department believes every victim deserves justice, and that the deceased victim’s family, friends, and community deserve closure.
Please take a moment to review the Unsolved Homicides summaries and if you have any information pertaining to any of these cases, please submit a tip, email us or call our Unsolved Homicides Division at (808) 961-2380 or Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300. Thank you for your help!
