Case Number: 1502040132


Corpus Christi Police Detectives have released store video of a suspect they believe is involved in a burglary and used a stolen vehicle to make his getaway from officers on February 4.

 

Corpus Christi Police were called by the 34 year old male victim of an auto burglary advising that his vehicle had been broken into while it was parked at the IHOP Restaurant located at 5202 S. Padre Island Drive.

He told officers that the suspects had stolen several items from his 2014 Toyota truck, including a MacBook Pro laptop, by breaking out the rear passenger side window. He told officers he had tracked his laptop with another computer and it was showing to be at the Dollar General Store located at 2978 Holly Road.

As officers arrived at the store to investigate, the suspect took off in a red 2009 Saturn car, and the suspect was able to elude police. The victim continued to track the laptop and he was able to give officers updates on the suspect’s location.

The red Saturn that the suspect fled in was tracked to the 4600 block of Totten Street. Officers were directed there and found the Saturn, parked on the side of the street. The Saturn turned out to be a stolen vehicle and inside the car, officers found property from multiple auto burglaries. The victim was able to get back his garment bag with clothes valued at $800.00, a computer bag that contained the MacBook Pro valued at $2,700.00, and an IPAD valued at $700.00.

The video released is from the Dollar General Store security camera that caught images of the suspect while he was inside making purchases.  The video shows the suspect entering the business, and then standing at the store counter.  Once he exits the store, officers attempt to contact him, but he flees in the stolen Saturn car.

The suspect in this case was not located and Detectives need your help in identifying this individual.  Anyone with information about this case should call the Corpus Christi Police Auto Theft Detectives at 886-2840. Anyone who would like to keep their identity secret and provide information to the Detectives should call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (8477) or submit the tip online at http://www.888TIPS.com.

Financial Crimes Detectives Raid House

DATE: February 10, 2014      9:00 AM
LOCATION: 2738 Prescott Street
OFFENSE: Credit Card Abuse
PC 32.21            State Jail Felony
CASE NUMBER: 1501090070
Corpus Christi Financial Crimes Detectives served a search warrant at a home located at 2738 Prescott Street.

Officers had begun an investigation late in the afternoon yesterday and returned this morning to execute a more extensive search warrant of the home and make two arrests. The two day investigation has resulted in the recovery of several cash gift cards from stores around our city, $16,000 in cash, several fake identification cards and electronic equipment used in making credit cards.

Two suspects that lived at the home were arrested on felony credit card abuse warrants, San Juanita Avalos (07/30/1982) and Ibrahin Suarez Venero (03/12/1986).  The warrants each had a $100,000 bond.

It appears as though both suspects had been cloning credit cards of victims, and were able to make purchases even though victims still had their cards in their possession.  This investigation could lead to more arrests.  Corpus Christi Police Department wants to remind everyone to check their credit statements on a regular basis, even though they have not had any of their credit cards stolen to guard against this type of financial crime.
