On November 29, 2025, at 5:40 pm, The Corpus Christi Police Department received a call for a Theft in Progress in the 5000 block of S Padre Island Dr. As a part of the Department’s Holiday Initiative Plan, an Officer was already at the location. 

The Officer was able to locate a male subject matching the description in the area and still in possession of the stolen items. The Officer was able to work in conjunction with Loss Prevention at the location to positively identify the male. Paul Roman (62) was taken into custody for Theft Shoplifting (Class B Misdemeanor).

Officers will be assigned to various business areas throughout the city to help prevent crime. This initiative is a team effort, and we encourage residents to take extra precautions to reduce the risk of becoming victims of crime. As always, please stay safe and enjoy your holiday season.

The Corpus Christi Police Department’s Holiday Initiative is running through December 28, 2025.
