Police are investigating the Monday night robbery of a California man in Kailua-Kona. A 50-year old Los Angeles man said he was attacked near the rear parking lot of the Ali`i Sunset Plaza by two males who struck him in the face and removed an undisclosed
amount of cash from his pants pocket, before fleeing in a white sports utility vehicle. The first suspect, the passenger, was described as a short and stocky local male between
21 and 25 years old with spiked hair. He was wearing white shorts and a white shirt. The second suspect, the driver, is described as 5-foot-10, thin, possibly in his 20s, with a dark
complexion and black curly hair. The victim suffered a broken jaw, loss of teeth and a laceration to his chin. He was taken
to Kona Community Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and released. Police ask that anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information about the identity of the suspects call Detective Sean Smith at 326-4646, extension 262.
