Crimestoppers put out an alert today for two men who robbed a couple in Makiki over the weekend.
The robbery was caught on surveillance video.
The robbers were wearing masks, but police are hoping someone will still be able to recognize them from the surveillance video.
We spoke with one of the victims tonight.
"Went happen so fast. Was like boom boom boom and they was out," said Ella Alcon.
Here’s the video again — this time in slow motion.
It was just after two in the morning this past Sunday.
That’s Ella Alcon and her husband outside their condo building on Thurston Avenue.
"And we was trying to get in. And in a matter of seconds, these two guys came from the back. We could hear their thump, thump, thump. One hit my husband, grabbed my backpack that he was carrying, the other one jumped over this hollow tile wall and punched me in the face. I went flying, and the same guy that hit me hit my husband too. So my husband got cracks from both of ‘em," said Ella Alcon.
The robbers ran off with Ella’s backpack.
Police are still investigating a motive, but Ella has a hunch the robbers thought they were carrying a lot of cash.
Earlier in the evening, the Alcons were at Kakaako Waterfront Park, where they were helping out with a benefit concert to raise money for charter schools.
"We were the ones collecting the money for the whole evening," said Ella Alcon.
Turns out, Ella did not have any of the cash from the fundraiser.
She only had clothes and some personal belongings in her backpack.
The Alcons live on Molokai, but also own a condo unit at the Crown Thurston in Makiki, where they were robbed.
"I’m doing much better. It’s my husband who’s suffering. He has a couple broken ribs and he’s bruised," said Ella Alcon.
This is a picture of the first suspect, described as being in his 30′s, 5’4" to 5’6" and about 160 pounds.
And here’s the second suspect, described as 20 to 30 years old, 5’4" to 5’6" and about 120 to 140 pounds.
And this is the car police believe the suspects came and left in — a white four door sedan.
"I really want them to get caught because nobody needs to experience that. And just uncalled for. You know, they need to get a job and earn their own money," said Ella Alcon.
If you have any information that can help police with this case, call Crimestoppers at 955-8300.
