Location: 4300 Western Drive
Offense: Burglary
(PC 30.04       Class A Misdemeanor)
Case Number: 1411210020
A 32 year old male witness called Corpus Christi Police after he saw a male looking into and checking door handles on cars that were parked in the parking lot of an apartment complex located at 4301 Western Drive.

When officers arrived they found Jacob Pena (10/19/1992) walking in the complex but he had no property on him.  While officers were investigating this call a 1997 black Nissan Pathfinder drove past them. The driver turned out to be the girlfriend of the male suspect that they had stopped, Angela Diaz (09/25/1993). Inside the Nissan Pathfinder officers found what appeared to be stolen property from several other vehicles.  The female suspect turned out to be the driver and the male suspect was walking through the property checking door handles and burglarizing the ones that were unlocked.

Officers did make contact with one female victim who had her car burglarized and they returned her stolen items to her.  Other property from the suspect’s vehicle was recovered by the police and they are currently looking for the owners of that property.  Both suspects were arrested for burglary, a Class A misdemeanor.

Location: 3000 South Port Avenue
Offense: Burglary
(PC 30.02       State Jail Felony)
Case Number: 1411210025
Corpus Christi Police Officers were dispatched to a restaurant located at 3036 S. Port Ave. for a burglary alarm.  The restaurant owner was reviewing video footage of a suspect who made entry into the business through roof panels.

The suspect entered into an enclosed area where food and equipment are stored. The suspect rummaged through items and then exited through the roof by climbing on pipes and beams. It does not appear as though the suspect took anything.   The owner said that this same suspect has burglarized her business two other times in the last week.

Investigators are working with the owner to get a copy of the video surveillance.  The suspect appears to be a Hispanic male in his mid-twenties approximately 5`5″ to 5`7″ tall and between 140 to 170 pounds.
