The unidentified suspect used the stolen card on four occasions since Sunday in Salt Lake, Mapunapuna and Kalihi.
Hasegawa's apartment, at the Kalanihuia high-rise, 1220 Aala St., had been ransacked and more than $100 in cash had been stolen, police said.
The victim was in fair condition today at Queen's Hospital. Bank cameras caught the suspect on video as she tried to withdraw money on four occasions. The first attempt was recorded at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Salt Lake. She was unsuccessful. Five minutes later, she was videotaped at a Mapunapuna ATM withdrawing money.
On Monday, about the same time Hasegawa's son found his mother unconscious in her apartment, the suspect again withdrew money, this time at a Kalihi bank. The video caught her just after 1:30 p.m. leaving in a dark-colored, American-made car driven by an unknown man.
She was unsuccessful on a fourth try at another Kalihi ATM, only because she apparently cleaned out the account on the third try, Nobriga said.
Police dusted Hasegawa's apartment for fingerprints but are still waiting on test results. There was no evidence of forced entry, Nobriga said.
He said the suspects apparently might have been walking through the building, knocking on doors until they found a victim they could prey on.
Meanwhile, state housing department officials plan to dip into an emergency repair fund to hire a security guard at the state-run Kalanihuia project.
A guard should be on duty within two weeks, Mitsuo Shito, executive director of the Hawaii Housing Authority, said after inspecting the property yesterday. The position is expected to cost $102,000 for the year.
Elderly residents of Kalanihuia have expressed concern over the lack of security at the building and their inability to keep those who don't belong in the building out.
Nobriga said residents have said there have been other burglaries in the past but they failed to report them to police.
Many elderly people are either afraid or don't want to go through the hassle of reporting it to police or accusing others of taking their property.
The 151-unit, 15-story building can be entered by using a key that opens the electronic glass doors. But residents say people who don't belong there manage to sneak in because the doors give residents at least 20 seconds to remove their key and get through without getting hit by the doors. Officials reportedly have shortened that timing to 10 seconds.
