CrimeStoppers Honolulu: hit-and-run on Kalanianaʻole Highway and a Makiki motorcycle theft
Honolulu police are asking for public help on two open cases, one of which left a cyclist hurt.
- A gray SUV hit a bicyclist on a Waikīkī-area highway in mid-September, then drove off without stopping to help.
- The rider was thrown onto the road and injured; there is no surveillance footage, so police want dash-cam video or eyewitness accounts.
- A second case involves a motorcycle stolen from a Makiki parking lot; the bike was recovered but the thief has not been caught.
- The suspect was caught on camera in a ski mask with a distinctive bird-design backpack, an arm tattoo, and a sticker-covered moped.
- Tips go to the Honolulu CrimeStoppers hotline, website, or the P3 Tips app.
Outlook: Both cases stay open until someone in the community comes forward, with the motorcycle theft the likelier to break given the clear video of the suspect and his moped.
