Case Number: 1410210093
Corpus Christi Police Theft Detectives need your help identifying a man that jumped on top of store shelves and attempted to use bolt cutters to cut off a lock inside the HEB Plus! located at 5313 Saratoga Blvd. The suspect began his shopping trip by prying open the cologne case sliding glass door and removing a bottle. He then forced off the spider wire wrapped around an electric razor. He then placed the cologne in his pocket, and the razor in his boot. The suspect then asks the store manager if they sell bolt cutters, and after being shown where they were, the suspect uses them in an attempt to cut the lock off the security gate where electronics are stored. The thief is unsuccessful at breaking the lock, but does break the bolt cutters in the process. The gate alarm is activated, and the thief goes to the next aisle over and climbs the shelving and walks on top of the shelves until he reaches the entertainment section and jumps down. The suspect then steals a wireless audio speaker, which he stuffs in his pants after kneeling down between aisles and cutting off the security webbing. The suspect appears to be either a white or Hispanic male, 40 to 50 years old wearing jeans, black dress shoes, a white button down shirt, a dark tie and a dark colored Fedora hat. Anyone who can identify the individual responsible, or has any additional information about this crime should call the Corpus Christi Police Property Crimes Detectives at 886-2840. Anyone who would like to keep their identity secret and still provide information to Detectives should call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (8477) or submit the information online at http://www.888TIPS.com.
