4 more men charged in home invasion

Police charged the four remaining suspects yesterday in connection with a Palolo home invasion robbery Sunday.

Herb H.K. Kolo, 22, and Kainoa N. Makui Ah Mook Sang, 20, who live at the same Kaululaau Street address in Papakolea, were charged with seven counts of first-degree robbery, one count of first-degree burglary, seven counts of kidnapping and 15 counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Lemuel A. Jones, 24, and Clement K. Leoiki-Mutch, 19, both of Papakolea, were charged with the same offenses.

All are being held in lieu of $350,000 bail each. They are scheduled to appear in Honolulu District Court at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Justin Lono, 28, of Tantalus and Jordan Artuyo, 18, were indicted Thursday on charges of first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary.

The six men allegedly broke into the home at 2001 10th Ave. at 3:48 a.m. Sunday armed with guns and knives. They assaulted and tied up four male residents and three of their guests but left a 17-year-old girl unharmed, police said. The men allegedly stole cash, a laptop computer and cell phones.

Suspect is held in woman's beating

Honolulu police say a 26-year-old Kalihi man beat a homeless woman over a pack of cigarettes, knocking out one of her teeth.

At 6:55 a.m. Wednesday the woman, 34, who has a prosthetic leg, was asleep when the suspect allegedly attacked her.

Police said the suspect kicked and punched the victim several times, then took the victim's bag. When the woman tried to resist, the suspect allegedly used one of the woman's crutches to strike her several times, causing a tooth to fall out.

The suspect fled with a pack of cigarettes from the victim's bag. Paramedics transported the victim to the Queen's Medical Center in stable condition.

A witness directed officers to the suspect's location. About an hour later, officers located the suspect at Coral and Ilalo streets in Kakaako and arrested him on suspicion on first-degree robbery.
