Case Number: 1503060030
Corpus Christi Police responded to the Whataburger restaurant located at 2424 Baldwin Boulevard after a store employee was assaulted and a money bag taken from her.

Officers arrived and contacted the 30 year old store employee who told them that she had just come from a bank across town and she was dropping off a money bag at the store.  When she exited her car, and walked up to the side door of the restaurant, she felt someone tap her on the left side of her shoulder.  She heard a young black male tell her “let me have it.” The suspect then punched her several times on the left side of the face and neck knocking her to the ground.  She let go of the bag and saw the suspect take off running.

The suspect was last seen wearing jeans, a green coat with a hood.

Other witnesses in the restaurant told officers that the black male suspect had gotten out of the passenger side of a dark colored vehicle with tinted windows.  While the suspect was robbing the employee the driver of the suspect vehicle circled around the restaurant and picked up the male.

Security surveillance cameras caught images of the suspect vehicle as it was driving around the restaurant.  It is a dark colored car, possibly a Lexus. The vehicle was said to have paper tags as license plates.

The suspects in this case were not located and the police need your help in identifying this vehicle.   Anyone with information about this case should call the Corpus Christi Police Criminal Investigations at 886-2840.
