An armed robbery incident that unfolded in an ʻAiea parking lot last Saturday night is currently under investigation by the Honolulu Police Department. As reported on the official HPD Facebook page, a 20-year-old male and a 17-year-old female were confronted by four males, one of whom was armed with a handgun, demanding the male victim's gold chain.
According to the social media post, the assault and attempted robbery took place at approximately 11:50 p.m. on Pali Momi Street. Faced with the threat, bystanders stepped in, an action that caused the suspects to flee without the chain. The suspects were last seen escaping in lowered pickup trucks, as they left behind the male victim, who suffered bruises and abrasions, with the female involved reportedly not harmed.
The Honolulu Police Department urges the public to come forward with any information they may have about the incident. They can contact HPD directly by calling 911 or provide anonymous tips to CrimeStoppers at (808) 955-8300 or through the P3 Tips app, assisting in the ongoing armed robbery investigation.
