Corpus Christi Police Property Crimes Detectives believe they captured the man responsible for several purse thefts in Corpus Christi and surrounding areas Monday night.

The Corpus Christi Police Property Crimes Detectives investigated three particular thefts at grocery stores in Corpus Christi which occurred on May 23, May 28, and June 8, 2014. Detectives released images of the suspect to the local media and received information to accuse 29 year old Ryan King (10/24/1984) of theft. Corpus Christi Police Detectives obtained a warrant for arrest for King on June 30, 2014 and the U.S. Marshal’s Gulf Coast Fugitives and Violent Offenders Task Force went to King’s residence on the 2800 block of Austin Street to arrest King. King saw Law Enforcement in front of his home so King ran out the back of the house and into the waiting Officers who arrested King. King was charged with four warrants for theft and evading arrest. Officers delivered King to the city detention center.

Detectives thank all the members of the community who assisted with the identification and apprehension of King.
