The lessee in question will now be subject to DHHL\u2019s process for lease cancellation in accordance with the Department\u2019s lease violation policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe community\u2019s concerns over the illegal activities being conducted by this lessee were heard. DHHL had been independently investigating the incident,\u201d said Hawaiian Homes Commission Chairman William J. Ail\u0101, Jr. \u201cWe are thankful that HPD quickly initiated a criminal investigation and executed a warrant to expedite the enforcement. A residential homestead is not the place for illegal gaming activities and illegal activities of any kind are a homestead lease violation. We recognize that there has been a rise in the number of game rooms being operated on our lands and will continue to work with HPD to make addressing these violations a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Requests for information regarding the seizure of items and the related criminal investigation should be forwarded to HPD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Hawaiian homestead property in Waim\u0101nalo was the subject of a search warrant executed&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[633],"tags":[278],"class_list":["post-11573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hawaii-statewide-news","tag-dhhl"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Waimanalo-Game-Room-Investigation.png?fit=740%2C400&ssl=1","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11573"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11575,"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11573\/revisions\/11575"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigislandthieves.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
