***UPDATE: Devin Ferreira is now in custody as of 10/17/14. The Maui Police Department would like to thank the public for assistance in this matter. 

Maui police are seeking the public’s help in locating a suspect wanted for the alleged theft of two GoPro cameras from the Hi Tech Surf Sports store in Kīhei.

The incident was reported on Monday, Sept. 22, 2014, and was documented on store surveillance video, according to Maui police.

Police have since identified the suspect as 23-year-old Devin Ferreira, and released a photograph this afternoon, saying he is wanted for alleged second degree theft.

According to police reports, Ferreira was observed entering the store at around 3 p.m., looking at merchandise, and exiting the store a short time later.

At 3:12 p.m., police say Ferreira is seen again on video waking back into the store, this time followed by an unknown male wearing a red shirt and black shorts.

Police say Ferreira is caught on camera removing two $299.99 GoPro cameras from a display case and exiting the store without attempting to pay for the items.  According to police reports, the unknown male in the red shirt was being assisted by a lone employee in the store and exited quickly after Ferreira.

Police describe Ferreira as 6 feet, 3 inches tall, weighing 190 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

Anyone with information is asked to call Maui Police Detective Gordon Sagun at 875-8190 (Monday to Friday 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or Central Dispatch at 244-6400 at anytime.
