WACO (September 9, 2009)--Police in Waco were searching Wednesday for two men who attempted to rob the Taco Bell at 1515 N. Valley Mills Drive.

Waco police spokesman Steve Anderson told News 10 the two men drove up to the drive-through window, displayed handguns and demanded that an employee give them money from the cash register.

Employees, instead, retreated farther inside the store.

The robbers drove away empty handed.

No one was hurt.

They hit McDonalds last night. Please be careful people. If they are this stupid then they are dumb enough to accidently shoot someone.

What did the drive-thru tell them when these two geniuses pull their guns. "Wait right here, I'm going to the back to get the money out of the safe." How long did they wait before taking off. Idiots. Thank GOD that nobody was hurt.
