HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Earlier this month, Jordan Lee learned first-hand just how popular an Oahu hiking trail is among thieves.
Moments before meeting his friends at a trail on the Kailua side of the Pali tunnels, he found out police were at the parking lot for a car break-in.
“I was like, ‘I don’t know, should I park here,’” Lee said. “I already had like an eerie feeling before I even went on the hike, something that didn’t feel right, but once I got there, I was already late. So I was like ‘Okay, let’s just do it.’ The closest parking lot would have been further down the road, in Kaneohe or Kailua.”
