Corpus Christi police arrested Feeman Teeters, 48, on three counts of burglary of a habitation and Jose Collazo, 38, on a burglary of a habitation charge in connection with home burglaries in the Del Mar neighborhood. Police linked Teeters to two additional burglaries in which victims' property was pawned the same day the burglaries were reported.

Why it matters

The arrests address a rise in home burglaries that patrol officers noticed in Corpus Christi, a pattern police say was pursued by combining patrol information with the Property Crimes Division's investigation. For residents, the case shows how quickly stolen goods can surface at pawn shops.

Feeman Teeters, 48, faces three counts of burglary of a habitation and remained in the Nueces County Jail as of Nov. 3, while Jose Collazo, 38, faces one burglary of a habitation charge, was taken into custody Oct. 31, and also remained in jail as of Nov. 3.

The players

Corpus Christi Police Department

The municipal police agency that arrested both suspects and whose Property Crimes Division led the investigation into the Del Mar burglaries.

Nueces County Jail

The county detention facility in Texas where both Teeters and Collazo were being held as of Nov. 3.

The details

Security footage showed Collazo entering a victim's home during one of the burglaries, and a detective obtained an additional warrant to arrest him. Police say Teeters pawned victims' property on the day each of the two additional burglaries was reported.

September and October: Burglaries reported in the Del Mar neighborhood.
Oct. 31: Collazo taken into custody.
Nov. 3: Teeters and Collazo remain in the Nueces County Jail.

Legal Context

Both suspects were charged under Texas's burglary of a habitation statute, which treats entry into a home as a more serious offense than burglary of a non-residential building. The charges in Corpus Christi follow that framework, with prosecutors able to stack separate counts for each residential entry.

Residents of the Del Mar neighborhood should take note that police say stolen property was being pawned quickly, so reporting burglaries promptly and noting serial numbers can help investigators trace goods. The arrests may ease concern in a neighborhood where several homes were entered over two months.

The takeaway

Burglary arrests often depend on tips and pawn-shop records, so recording serial numbers and reporting incidents quickly improves the odds that stolen property is recovered. Neighbors who notice unfamiliar activity can help police connect patterns across a neighborhood.
