The Corpus Christi Police Property Crimes Detectives would like help from the public to identify and locate a man who stole an iphone cellular telephone worth $700 dollars.

A little after noon on April 30, 2013, a 52-year-old woman made a purchase at a store located in Moore Plaza at 5425 South Padre Island Drive. The 52-year-old woman mistakenly left her cell phone by the customer credit card swipe machine; but the phone was gone when she returned to get her phone. Store employees reviewed surveillance camera records and discovered a man in line behind the 52-year-old woman covered the phone with his wallet, and then took the phone. Corpus Christi Police Detectives would now like to identify and locate the man who stole the phone.

The phone was described as a black iphone4 worth $700 dollars. The suspect is described as a bald white male who wore sunglasses, a gray shirt, black pants, and gray shoes.
