(October 28, 2008)—Police were investigating Tuesday after two men with a gun attempted to rob an 80-year-old Temple man.

The victim told officers he was outside his residence Sunday around 10:15 p.m. in the 500 block of East French when the two men approached.

One of the men, who had a bandana over his face, produced a gun and demanded money.

The victim managed to back away from the two men toward the gate of his home where his dogs were barking.

The would-be robbers left empty handed.

No one was injured.

Police were unable to locate the two men, the first of whom was black, about 20-years-old, 5-foot-7 and about 200 pounds.

He was wearing dark clothing and a blue bandana.

The second man was also black, about 5-foot-7 and thin.

He wore a white hooded sweatshirt.

Investigators are asking anyone with information about the attempted robbery to call the Temple Police Department at (254) 298-5500.

The attempt was the latest in a string of more than a half-dozen holdups or attempted holdups

Friday night, a robber struck the Sonic at 2012 S. 57th St.

On Thursday, employees of the LA Boutique used pepper spray that contained orange dye to thwart a robbery.
