The Kaua‘i Police Department (KPD) is seeking the public’s help in identifying three men captured on surveillance between August 22, 2023, and August 24, 2023, at various stores on Kaua‘i.
According to police, on Aug. 22, a visitor from Texas reported that his wallet was stolen while swimming at Po‘ipū Beach Park.

KPD officers were able to recover surveillance footage from the various establishments and identified three male subjects as perpetrators conducting fraudulent charges.
KPD detectives are actively investigating this case. Anyone with information on the identity of the three suspects or with information on this reported incident is encouraged to contact KPD Detective Bobby Thompson at 808-241-1635.

“We thank the public for their help to identify these three suspects. A day at the beach is meant to be fun and enjoyable, but we must also remember to remain vigilant wherever we go as thieves are opportunists,” said Kennison Nagahisa, Acting Captain of KPD’s Investigative Services Bureau. “Securing your personal valuables will help to reduce crime and keep your property safe, while enjoying the ocean.”
