Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables said the men moved a propane tank cage before they backed into a wall at a Citgo station in the 24400 block of Kuykendahl Road at about 1:45 a.m.

The men were inside the store for about a minute, detectives said. They rolled a safe out and put it in their Ford F-150, officials said. There was not a license plate on the pickup truck, officials said.

Investigators said the men got away with about $15,000 in cash and lottery tickets that were in the safe.

The damage to the store was estimated to be valued at $80,000.
