Corpus Christi police: Man grabs wrench inside pawnshop, pawns it back to store

— Corpus Christi police are looking for a man who grabbed a wrench from a table in a pawnshop Monday, ripped off the price tag and sold it back to the store.
Officers were called to the shop about 1:15 p.m. in the 1700 block of Airline Road after reports of a theft.
The store's manager said a man came into the store carrying a saw and while waiting to pawn the tool, grabbed a torque wrench from a nearby table and decided to pawn it as well, police said.
Employees were able to identify the man who left the store after the transaction, police said.
Detectives from the police department's property crime unit are investigating.
