Rose bushes stolen from Urban Garden in Pearl City

Submitted by Nicole Bento on Friday, May 17th, 12:42 pm

PEARL CITY, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow) -- For the second time since its opening, Oahu's only public rose garden has become the target of plant thieves.

The Honolulu Rose Society says crooks dug up 13 newly planted rose bushes this week at the Urban Garden Center in Pearl City. The missing plants are worth a total of $400 to $650.

"This is not the first time. When we started two years ago, the same thing happened. We had 30 to 40 of them stolen back then," said Ron Matsuzaki of the Honolulu Rose Society.

The Rose Society is asking the public to call police if they know anything about the stolen plants.

Submitted by Nicole Bento on Tuesday, May 14th, 6:07 pm

HALAWA (HawaiiNewsNow)- The Hawaiian Humane Society rescued dozens of dogs from the home of a breeder in Halawa on Tuesday afternoon.

According to investigators, 43 Pomeranians were living in filthy conditions, but officials are not pressing charges since she surrendered the animals and is cooperating.

"They were substandard to say the least. It's pretty difficult to see. It's primarily unsanitary conditions and there were dogs just about everywhere," said Keoni Vaughn of the Hawaiian Humane Society.

The dogs range in age from puppies to full grown, and their health varies. The Humane Society said most of the dogs were living in a carport and a storage room. The retired nurse lives in the home with her family. She told investigators that she had a stroke a couple years ago and is now overwhelmed.
