Corpus Christi Police arrested two store employees for theft after an Officer saw unusual activity at 4955 Ayers Street Monday evening. A Corpus Christi Police Officer on routine patrol saw a man in a hooded sweat shirt run from an open loading door and placed a large box into an open trunk of a car parked behind a tool store at Ayers Street and McArdle Road. The Corpus Christi Police Officer recognized this as unusual and went to the store to investigate. The 41-year-old store manager told the Officer the vehicle belonged to a store employee. The store manager investigated with the Corpus Christi Police Officer and discovered 23-year-old Justin Olivarez (4/20/1990) had taken merchandise valued at $189 dollars from the store without paying. The Officer arrested Olivarez for theft.

The investigation led the Officer to learn that a second employee, 21-year-old Nathan Esquivel (4/24/1992) had also taken merchandise valued at $600 dollars from the store without paying and had the merchandise in his car. The Officer arrested Esquivel for theft. The merchandise was returned to the store and Esquivel and Olivarez were delivered to the city detention center.
