SAIPAN — Christopher Hiroaki, the man previously sought by the CNMI Department of Public Safety in connection with a burglary and copper wire theft at the former T-Galleria building in Garapan, is now in custody.
DPS previously said the case stems from a November 24, 2025 burglary report at the former T-Galleria site, where investigators determined 50–60 feet of copper wire was cut and removed with an estimated value of $4,000. In its earlier advisory, DPS said responding officers were provided information about a suspect vehicle described as a blue Kia Sportage with CNMI license plate ADD-480, last seen traveling north behind the building.
DPS said Ramon Camacho was later located at Plumeria Steakhouse, detained, and later arrested, and that Camacho identified John Sellem Jones and Hiroaki as additional suspects, with Hiroaki identified as the driver of the vehicle seen leaving the scene.
Judge Teresa Kim Tenorio signed arrest warrants for Camacho, Jones, and Hiroaki on Dec. 2, and DPS said investigators arrested Camacho and Jones that same day while efforts continued to locate Hiroaki.
