Police have arrested and charged three Ocean View residents with burglary and other offenses for the February 4th break-in at an electronics store on Prince Kuhio Boulevard. Detectives assigned to the case, say information led them to a Jasmine Drive home in Hawaiian Ranchos Estates where they executed a search warrant last Friday and arrested 24-year old Joshua Lawrence, 26-year old Heather Hofferbert and 42-year old Ronnie Gates on suspicion of burglary. All three were charged on Saturday with second-degree burglary, second-degree theft and second-degree criminal property damage.
