Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you.

Always WALK and don’t run from house to house. Look both ways before crossing the street. and use crosswalks when possible.

crosswalk

 

Walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.

Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.

Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Don’t stop at dark houses. Never accept rides from strangers.

As for those who would rather plays tricks than receive treats, remember that damaging a person’s property can be considered “Criminal Mischief”. Don’t ruin your night by having to meet a Police Officer. The costume they are wearing is real and so are the consequences.

Location: 14400 Pentridge Drive
Offense: Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle
P.C. 31.07     State Jail Felony
Case Number: 1510210037
A 41 year old female victim called Corpus Christi Police after she found her car was missing from her driveway.

Officers responded to the victim’s home, located in the 14400 block of Pentridge Drive, and were told that the vehicle stolen was a 2005 Honda Accord.

About an hour later police were called to the Home Depot parking lot, located at 13202 Leopard Street, where a witness told Officers that she saw a 2005 Honda Accord, believed to be the stolen vehicle,  and an older model Chevrolet Impala enter the parking lot. Two men got out and started switching the license plates between the two vehicles. After switching the plates, the two vehicles left the parking lot.

Police were then called to the Wal Mart Store, located at 3800 U.S. Highway 77,  and told that two males had entered the store and attempted to use a credit card at the jewelry counter belonging to a female.  Employees refused to allow the purchase.

Officers then learned that a 76 year old female had her purse stolen from her car while it was parked at her home in the 4100 block of Rehfeld Road. The suspects who took the purse then attempted to use the credit cards a little later at the store. Employees from the Wal Mart Store then saw the two suspects leave in the stolen  2005 Honda Accord.

Video images from the store show the two suspects who are believed to be involved in all of these crimes.

If you recognize either of these two suspects, or know anything about these crimes, call detectives at 361-886-2840 or Crimestoppers at 888-TIPS.
