- Alex and Justina Lucero were on Maui for music gigs earlier in June and decided to use their free day to explore Paia and Hana but that day of fun turned into terror after they were carjacked and made to scramble up the side of a volcano to save their lives.

Gives new meaning to those "I Survived The Hana Highway" t-shirts!
THREE vehicles and a drone, where are the rest of the gang?
This is 100% my question as well
How awful. Poor tourists.
The State Department needs to issue a warning about visiting Maui.
Just what Maui needs, more bad publicity...😢 Thankful the assailant is in custody after being let out previously. How about the others in their cars and the drone? He wasn't working alone
I've considered returning home to Hawaii and an old friend has settled in Puna on the Big Island. He's advised me to buy some land there and settle down there. I told him and I quote, "I have less than zero interest in moving to the Big Island" haha that's a place where you gotta be on watch all the time ... think South Africa with more ukulele music.
@@alexcarter8807 depends where and the circles one keeps. There is still a ton of aloha here, and comparing to South Africa is a bit harsh IMO
Brah!! It's crazy!!! Hawaii is becoming like every place else, bad places to visit!!!
Worse when u factor in we don’t have much at all of the 13% or illegals. Hawaii is long gone
Throw away the key
Where are his friends that was helping him hunt the couple?
Lol friends, wake up, this was done by the police
@morningstar4394 you sound stupid af
@@morningstar4394SAY WHAAAT?😮
But his buddies are still out there. WTF?
New movie!! HANA GOT EYES! 😂 Escape from HANA! HANA in HANA out😂
Yeah I was just saying it would make a good movie or book.
@@kawikadee9670 Hana okolele😂

Helmer has a mind of a psycho.
wheres Bissen?..oh that's right hes busy banning vacation rentals..what a joke
Hawaii used to be an awesome, beautiful place to visit. Not anymore! Crime is rampant all over. Sad.
Theyll never be back to Maui thats for sure, scarred from that now.
After the very controversial fires and now this escalating crime situation I can guarantee you tourism in Maui is going down. The quality of life for locals on Maui will go down as the tourist dollars decrease. And then they will whine and complain and beg their government to deal with the crime.
Amazing how easily things can drastically change, if they listened to the common sense that was screaming at them not to go that way it would probably be one of their best trips ever.
Almost the same thing happened to me on tbe same road, they placed spikes on the road and followed me for miles, I sped up and my girlfriend was terrified but we got out of tbat area fast
They called it bazaar. The same PD that released him to terrorize.
Fine reporting, HOWEVER, profile the suspect!! Who is he? What might his motives possibly be? Who what why when where, lidat🤪
This. Who the hell is this guy? What's his background? What's his story? And who were working with him?
@@Joe-mz6dc there is something seriously wrong with Hawaii Reporters
He’s a fed informant
WHERE IS THE MAYOR AND GOV ON THIS?
Bisson is most likely sucking um up.
Same place hiding as usual.
What do you expect them to do? That’s what mpd is for.
I was born and raised in Hawaii but moved to the mainland for better things in 1990 when I noticed Hawaii becoming a cesspool due to the poor decision-making of public officials and the influx of criminals like this who victimized these poor, innocent visitors. 😢
democrats.
Oh someone is gonna make a movie about this. This is a real-life horror movie.
It wall be called Deliverance 2.
I believe that too
Your video is exceptionally enthralling! - "Success is the fruit of unwavering commitment."
They wanted tobe Main Characters in a Horror Movie ! Road to Hana they need to sell the Script now ❤
EVERYTHING IS SHOCKING.
Something doesn't smell right with this story...
What specifically?
This happens on Big Island all the time
Got a link? Not saying I don't believe you but I've never heard that so I'd like to see the link to the story.
HANA .. WHO DA GUYS...
Sad this is happening on Maui and other parts of Hawaii. it’s like the virus is spreading to the people and the precious ancient islands of aloha. The pandemic affected everyone differently and COVID really hurt the world. We can be better than this and we must be better as a people ❤😇🙏🏽
Japanese couple robbed by gun point on Waikiki beach 1:30am. Since tump was in wh. Repub pushing guns. More gun are being used. Look at Waianae.😮
I no believe this whole story
Hawaii where u can get away with anything
What a nightmare . Glad you made it out . God Bless You . I was arrested after i was assulted and robbed . Waikiki
Wonder about the people who said you could keep driving through that area 🤔 it might have been a set up by the local to rob tourist?
Should have just went to Jaws and called it a day.
No Upcountry For Old Men
Or young men. Or women. Or children. Or...
@@alexcarter8807 Not an elite? Then nope.
What is wrong w/those losers😮😮??
This can be in a movie
Local terrorists?
Sig sauer
What the heck? Auwe! So sorry this happened to you....
Wow that's crazy. Sorry you vacationers had that kind of experience, but you should see if you can make that story a book or movie.
Sounds like the beginning of a far cry game
Tweekers having fun. Playing reindeer games. Mahalo
It's a gang not a guy
Animals!! Locals doing this??? Maui people asking the world for help after the wild fires and then this happens??? Shameful!!!
@@QuantumOfSolace1 local activists want the telescope off that volcano.
Don't disrespect animals. Animals are innocent beautiful creatures. Humans are monsters.
Just because it's on Maui, that doesn't mean people are "using and abusing only tourist" or "being ungrateful for help." If you're there, it doesn't matter if you're a local or a tourist. You'll be targeted because you ARE there. Dangerous crime has been happening on other islands as well. This couple just found out what we all have been dealing with collectively in Hawai'i. It truly is now the Wild Wild West thanks to bad government policies which built up bad effects over the years for the people of Hawai'i
AYFKM!!??
Maui = Mexico
Damn 🥹 thank God that you guys are okay 🤙
Locos Only !
Yea local guy who had a warrant for kidnapping and terrorist threatening. Making kama’ainas look bad.
That’s horrible💔 locals would never do that💔 white multi-passenger taxis???
Pick up on warrants for a separate kidnappings and terrorist threatening from last month! 😂not locals😂you kidding yourself. He called for backup. This not the 70s. Parents in 90s to now neva teach kids discipline, respect others as you want to be respected, good behavior from bad, foul mouth, you don’t steal, respect first responders, respect your teachers and elders. Don’t know what common sense is. Some already born with the spirit in their hearts. Some Grandparents and Parents neva teach the aloha spirit. They failed as parents.
On Waikiki beach a Japanese couple robbed at gunpoint. Couldn’t be local boy had to be tourist who brought his on gun😂😂😂
William Oguma said to me TRUST GOD!
Thumbs up if you think the girl was taking the lead and not the pony tail guy !
They weren't hunted, they were trying to help them out. 😂 spreading da Aloha spirit 🤙🏼🤙🏼 ❤
Sure they were. Thats why the hunters kept saying, "We will find you, come out and show yourselves"
They were terrorized by hawaiian activists.
"Activists"
Lawlessness in the end times , it'll get worst . After the Rapture it'll be very bad , Get Saved John 3:16
Rapture won’t happen till after the antichrist sits the throne in Jerusalem and starts making everyone worship him. They will behead those that don’t bow. We will all face tribulation
The carjacking at gunpoint and stolen rental car by local criminal Christopher Helmer are facts. The rest of their story about being hunted using a drone, is just BS due to paranoia. But understandable after the stressful and dangerous confrontation they've endured. Whatever drone they saw wasn't targeting them. There's no way 2 large white adults w/swimwear, could escape a real drone search in that deserted landscape. The other Hawaiians (taxi driver) had no idea that Helmer had robbed that couple. It makes no sense for Helmer to let them go on foot, and then later "organize" a hunt. Remember that Helmer's face was covered, so the victims couldn't identify him. HPD arrested Helmer while driving the stolen car.
Many Hawaiians resent white people for stealing the Hawaiian kingdom by force in 1893. So a few locals have targeted whites. The most famous Maui brutal assault (2 Hawaiians beat up a white guy) happened in February 2014. Locals know that white people shouldn't venture into remote rural areas in the islands.

What a dramatic B.S. Story shame on you guys. Dont come back to Maui
Stay out goofball. Don’t come back
Same, stay off the mainland.
To many tweekers
@@johnrobinson9711 Never been there goofball, don’t want to visit that polluted wasteland.
Even Helmer's father thinks bail is too low. When your own father doesn't respect you we all know what the problem is brother.
