Hawai‘i Island authorities are searching for Robert "Tamatoa" Teinauri-Carman, a 40-year-old Ocean View man wanted on two arrest warrants—one for an indictment and another for a bail release revocation. He is also a person of interest in a 2022 burglary in the Hawai‘i Ocean View Estates subdivision. Authorities advise the public not to approach him, as he is considered armed and dangerous, according to the Hawai‘i Police Department.
Teinauri-Carman was last seen on Wednesday, near the 49-mile marker on Highway 11 in Ka'ū, where he evaded police during a search. His current whereabouts are unknown, and it is unclear if others assisted him. He is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, 175 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and multiple tattoos. He is known to be familiar with the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates area, as reported by the Hawai‘i Police Department.
The Hawai‘i Police Department warns that anyone assisting or hiding Teinauri-Carman may face criminal charges. Information on Teinauri-Carman's whereabouts can be reported to Detective Donovan Kohara at (808) 960-3118 or [email protected]. The department’s non-emergency line is available at (808) 935-3311, and anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300, with a possible reward of up to $1,000.
