A 50 year old store employee called Corpus Christi Police to the Home Depot Store located at 4038 S. Port Avenue.  He told officers that he observed two males and a female come into the store together and split up.  The employee was watching the female put several items from the store into her purse and then watched as she walked out without paying.

When he confronted her in the parking lot, he was attempting to escort her back to the store, when the two males she had walked into the store with came up to him and began yelling to let her go.

One of the males hit the employee in the throat with his fist and forced him to let her go.  All three suspects got into a gray Toyota Tacoma truck and left toward Port Avenue.

The store employee was able to hold onto the females purse and inside it officers found over $130 worth of merchandise.  They were also able to find other identifying information that may lead them to the female suspect.

This case is still under investigation, and at this time none of the suspects have been located.
