After a shelter in a place in Robstown was lifted, Nueces County emergency crews continue to investigate a possible gas leak Monday evening.
Monday afternoon, Nueces County Office of Emergency Management advised residents and businesses in the areas of County Road 52 and County Road 69 to shelter in place while a hazmat team worked to locate a possible gas leak.
The city of Corpus Christi issued a shelter in place directive and lifted it later Monday afternoon.
