Charges dropped against theft suspect
Charges have been dropped against one suspect in a brutal home invasion-style auto theft early last month in Hawaiian Beaches subdivision, and another suspect is free while he awaits a preliminary hearing.
Ikaika Renken-Gonsalves, 30, of Pahoa was charged Feb. 11 with first-degree robbery for being one of two men who allegedly beat a 55-year-old Hawaiian Beaches man unconscious and stole his car from his carport in the early morning hours of Jan. 5.
