Police are investigating the theft of items from the Watumull Gallery at the
Honolulu Academy of Arts, a family member confirmed yesterday.


KITV reported on Saturday night that $500,000 worth of jewelry was taken
from the Watumull Gallery in May. The report was based on information from
unnamed sources.


Police criminal investigations supervising personnel were unable to confirm
the report yesterday and the Honolulu Academy of Arts referred inquiries to
its director, Stephen Little, who did not return calls seeking comment.
