The Corpus Christi Police Department would like help from the public to identify and locate individuals responsible for a theft at the 2500 block of Halsey Street that happened on Friday, March 15, 2013.

An 83-year-old woman walked from a grocery store located at 3033 South Port Avenue at 2:50pm. The woman walked to the back of the store to pass through a fence onto the 2500 block of Halsey Street when a man took the woman’s purse and ran into a silver car to escape.

Corpus Christi Police Detectives have obtained video of the event and saw a man exit the rear of a silver four door car, approach the 83-year-old woman, and take the purse. Police believe at least one other person was involved in this event as there was a driver of the car which sped away from the woman after the theft.

The man who actually took the purse is described as a white man who wore a red visor, gray t-shirt with the number 24 on the front of the shirt, khaki cargo shorts, and white tennis shoes.

Anyone with any additional information about this crime, or can identify the persons involved, should call the Corpus Christi Police Department at 886-2841. Information may be provided to investigators anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (8477) or online at www.888TIPS.com.
