(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.
