Case Number: 1407230099

The Corpus Christi Police Department received four complaints from four separate physicians Wednesday about calls from an unknown person who claimed to be involved in a drug cartel and held a family member of the physician captive and demanded a ransom. In each case, the physicians learned their family members were not held captive and the call was determined to be a scam. The Corpus Christi Police Department encourages anyone who receives such a call to contact the Police immediately at 886-2600 to report the information. The Corpus Christi Police Department has not received any valid information about any abduction or injuries in exchange for a ransom.
