Kaua`i Police Lt. Alvin Seto, who oversees the island’s Crime Stoppers program,
is asking for more specific help than usual.
Seto is always seeking
information about crime on the island, but this time he wants a certain
informant who called Crime Stoppers concerning the rash of burglaries in
Kilauea to call again.
The tipster’s information about the burglaries and
stolen jewelry “was good,” Seto said, “but they promised to call back (with
more) and they haven’t. We need them to do so.”
Kilauea suffered through a
rash of burglaries (at least 12) in early summer that police thought would
cease after they made two arrests – one adult suspect and one juvenile – in
late summer.
But according to residents who have recently contacted The
Garden Island, the problem is continuing.
Lt. Martin Curnan, who oversees
police activities in the Kilauea area, said at least 90 percent of property
crimes in the area are drug-related.
Anyone with new information, or the
reluctant tipster, can call Crime Stoppers at 241-6787, Seto at 241-6735 or
police detective Glenn Morita at 241-6701.
