BALDWIN PARK — Two would-be robbers fled empty-handed following a failed heist at a Baldwin Park gas station early Saturday, police said.
The crime took place about 4 a.m. at USA Gasoline, at Puente and Pacific avenues, Baldwin Park police Sgt. Chris Hofford said.
Police described one of the robbers as a black man wearing a hooded sweat shirt and khaki pants, carrying a small black handgun. He was accompanied by a second black man who was wearing a white sweater and blue pants.
Details regarding what took place inside the store were not available Saturday morning, but the two men fled without obtaining any money, Hofford said. No injuries were reported.
One was last seen running east on Pacific Avenue, while the other fled north on Puente Avenue, he added.
