A 30-year-old Bainbridge Island man was charged with second-degree burglary this week after police said he was caught shoplifting a pair of Beats headphones from the Kohl’s department store in Silverdale on Thanksgiving.

Honorato Robero Rapada IV was charged with the felony in Kitsap County District Court in Monday, Dec. 8.

According to court documents, Rapada went into Kohl’s on Nov. 27 and walked out of the store with a pair of Beats headphones that he did not pay for that were valued at $179.

Authorities also said Rapada had been caught shoplifting at a Kohl’s location in Gig Harbor in April 2014 and was subsequently banned from all Kohl’s stores for a year.

Rapada was later identified by a department store video as a suspect in the theft at the Silverdale Kohl’s on Thanksgiving.

He was arrested on Friday, Dec. 5 after he allegedly went back to the Kohl’s in Silverdale and a store employee watched as he picked up another pair of Beats headphones and an HP tablet computer and walked around the store with the items. A store employee was standing at the exit, and Rapada put the items at the end of an aisle near the door and left the building.

A sheriff’s deputy stopped him outside the building, and he allegedly told the officer he had decided to leave the items behind because he didn’t have the money to buy the computer and headphones.

When asked about the incident in Gig Harbor, he allegedly told the deputy, “I remember when I was going to court they said don’t go to Kohl’s,” and then added, “I never signed anything.”

Police said they discovered Rapada’s car had been left running near the exit of the store, with the driver’s side door facing the store’s exit.

Rapada was booked into Kitsap County Jail on Saturday, Dec. 6 and bail was set at $20,000.

Conviction of second-degree burglary carries a maximum 10-year prison term and $20,000 fine.
