HALEIWA- Imagine not being able to hear an emergency siren because of vandalism or theft? That's a real and frightening possibility for residents on Oahu's North Shore after a siren at Haleiwa Beach Park was targeted three times since April.
The city’s deputy director of Emergency Management says the vandals broke into steel boxes that contain the siren’s wet cell batteries. Peter Hirai says without the batteries the sirens may not function.
“We're asking for the public to assist us in monitoring these sirens and if they see any kind of suspicious activity call 911 immediately,” said Hirai. “These sirens are locked and they are secure but folks are getting into them.”
