URGENT UPDATE: In a swift operation, U.S. Marshals have arrested Coleen Kuamo`o, a 43-year-old woman wanted for child rape in Hawaii. Authorities confirmed her capture in Worcester, Massachusetts, just hours ago, following a tip-off from the Maui Police Department.
Kuamo`o, also known as Malama Kuamo`o, is wanted on serious charges, including one count of sexual assault in the first degree and three counts of sexual assault in the third degree. She allegedly assaulted a child in Wailuku, Hawaii. Acting U.S. Marshal for Massachusetts, Kevin Neal, emphasized, “Anyone who thinks they can flee across the country to avoid facing justice is mistaken.”
The U.S. Marshals Service received intelligence that Kuamo`o was hiding in the Bay State, prompting a focused manhunt. Marshals tracked her down and made the arrest earlier today. This operation underscores the commitment of the U.S. Marshals to pursue fugitives, no matter where they attempt to evade justice.
In addition to this high-profile arrest, the Boston Police Department reported a busy weekend with 299 incidents logged between 10 a.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday. This includes two robberies, six aggravated assaults, and multiple thefts.
The police are urging the public to remain vigilant as they continue to address crime in the city. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing investigations into the various incidents reported.
As the situation develops, authorities stress the importance of community awareness and cooperation in maintaining safety. The swift capture of Kuamo`o serves as a critical reminder of the tireless efforts of law enforcement to bring offenders to justice.
