County police and law enforcement officers from the Department of Land and Natural Resources cited three men Wednesday for allegedly improperly renting kayaks on county and state land near Kealakekua Bay.
Permitted kayak vendors have long complained about illegal rentals along the roads leading to Napoopoo Pier, as well as in the adjacent parking lot. Officer Calvin DeLaries said the three men, who are 21, 28 and 44 years old, were ticketed for soliciting business on state property and trespassing, as well as commercial use of a county street.
The Police Department and DLNR officers also seized a truck and 13 kayaks.
The department has received numerous complaints about illegal activity at and near the pier, prompting the Community Policing investigation, DeLaries said.
