Houston police are on the lookout for three men after they said they tried to rob a southeast Houston donut shop last month -- but left the store empty-handed.
Officers said it happened on May 20 in the 1300 block of Old Spanish Trail.
At around 11:40 p.m., surveillance video shows two men armed with guns running inside the shop. A third man, seen with a red hoodie, stood by the front door as a lookout.
The two men ran toward the back kitchen, where a lone employee was seen sweeping the floor, according to surveillance video. Police said they pulled out their guns and forced the employee to put his hands up while walking back to the front of the store.
While the suspects demanded money from the safe, police said the employee reportedly did not know the combination number to it, leading to the men becoming frustrated.
At some point, after they were seen opening the cabinets at the back counter, all three men gave up and fled from the store, leaving empty-handed.
No injuries were reported.
Police are searching for the following suspects:
Suspect 1: Black-colored hoodie, black pants, wearing blue gloves, black mask
Suspect 2: Black and white hoodie, blue gloves, black pants
Suspect 3 (acted as a lookout): Red-colored hoodie, white mask, dark-colored pants
