The First Hawaiian Bank at Kukui Grove Shopping Center in Lihu�e shut down early yesterday after a Caucasian male reportedly robbed the branch shortly after 11:40 a.m.

The man � approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and in his 40s � approached a teller and demanded money, according to officials.

He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash. Mall security and police arrived within 15 minutes of the incident.

No one was injured.

According to preliminary reports, the man was wearing a tan shirt, dark shorts and a dark-colored University of Hawai�i baseball cap.

The branch, which is the only one on Kaua�i to offer weekend hours, is normally open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.

Police are continuing their investigation. To report information about the robbery, call Police Dispatch at 241-1711, Detective Trent Shimabukuro at 241-1692 or Crime Stoppers at 241-1887.

" The Board and community would have been proud of their elected and government officials during the earth quake emergency. It was questioned by the Board that City Budget and Fiscal Services Director was the acting Mayor and Bennett confirmed this because the Mayor was on a tour of Okinawa and South Korea and Managing Director Wayne Hashiro was away on a trip to Japan. By 10:30 a.m., a signed Declaration of Emergency was sent to Washington D.C. to enable FEMA to come in and provide emergency funding.

" “The burial treatment plan is very flawed,” Huff said. “It is a clear violation of our rights as indigenous people.”
“We will be staying until further notice and until the state of Hawai�i acknowledges the property was fraudulently sold to Brescia,” Huff said.
