A Corpus Christi Police Officer on patrol found two trucks in the Sames Crow Ford Dealership with all four tires and rims removed and the trucks up on blocks. Another truck in the lot was found to be missing a tailgate.

The officer began searching the area and located another male in the area of the vehicles. That suspect was detained and identified and officers are trying to determine if he was involved. At this time, no arrests have been made.
A manager from the dealership identified a 2015 Ford F150 truck, and a 2015 Ford F150 King Ranch truck to both be missing all four tires and rims.
