Officers were dispatched to Catcay Drive to investigate a theft. Upon arrival they contacted a witness who observed a white SUV driving slowly down the street. The witness said that the vehicle stopped in front of a home and two subjects got out and removed objects from some parked boats.  Officers began to search the area and located the vehicle on the 3000 block of Waldron Road.

A traffic stop was initiated. The Driver Leonard Simmons 10-28-70 had a suspended license and was arrested for that charge. The passenger Gary Lawrence was arrested on an outstanding municipal court warrant.

Officers located two trolling motors, but were unable to contact the owners to confirm the theft. These items were tagged as evidence and detectives will follow up with possible theft charges.

The Corpus Christi police Department would like to remind citizens not to leave valuables in your vehicles. This includes boats which often have expensive equipment and fishing gear left easily accessible to potential thieves.
