Police say two service members witnessed the crime and chased down Caravalho, recovered the woman's purse, and held him for authorities. Caravalho was arrested for the crime but police say he failed to show for court and remains on the run.

"He also has an alias, Derek. So he goes by Derek Caravalho and Jon Caravalho," said Buffett.

Caravalho is described as a 45-year-old Caucasian man, 5'11" tall, weighing 154 pounds. His hair is graying. His eyes are brown and he may or may not still have a mustache. Police say he's no stranger to criminal activity.

Buffett said, "He has 13 convictions resulting from robberies and forgeries. He has several cases of forgeries, and of course some traffic offenses that lead to the 13."

Police say Caravalho is known to frequent the Pearl Harbor area as well the Leeward and Windward Coasts.
