KAILUA, Hawaii -- A Kailua burglar was caught after falling asleep on the job, said police.

Police arrested Kainoa Almeida, 21, after they said he was found snoozing in a Ka'apuni Drive home.

A homeowner stopped him during a previous invasion Saturday evening, but he punched the man and got away while the homeowner tried to call 911.

Then at about 6 a.m. Sunday morning at the same home, police said a family found that Almeida allegedly broke in, stacked items near the door and then fell asleep on the floor.

Officers woke him up and arrested him for burglary and assault.

Residents said that they didn’t notice anyone suspicious enter the home, but rarely pay attention to the people coming and going.

"We see it a lot because we're contractors. We see people coming in and out oftentimes we'll see people running out of a house," said Chris Johnston, a Kailua Resident.

Neighbors said they would be more vigilant after the robbery.

"We started a neighborhood watch, you know, and we've been taking turns patrolling the street at night," said Mark Chai a neighbor.

Residents near the burgled home said there was a big party Saturday night, but it's not clear if that's why Almeida was in the neighborhood.
