Police Investigate Two Robberies Tuesday Night

The Corpus Christi Police Department Robbery/Homicide Detectives are searching for persons responsible for robberies at two locations in Corpus Christi Tuesday night.

The two robberies were committed by a person with the same description, and so investigators are exploring the possibility the two robberies are related. No person was injured in either of the two robberies.

The first robbery happened at 3302 South Port Avenue at 8:45pm. A man entered the store, displayed a handgun, and demanded cash. The second robbery happened at 4702 Kostoryz with the same description of the suspect who entered, displayed a handgun, and then demanded cash.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his early 20’s in age, 5 ft. 6 inches tall, 130 pounds, brown hair and hazel eyes, and he wore a blue long sleeve shirt with green stripes, acid washed blue jeans, and brown shoes.
