HOUSTON – Police are looking for two masked men who torched a Louisiana Chicken restaurant in northeast Houston Wednesday night.
Surveillance video shows the pair trying to break into the restaurant on Homestead and Bretshire using a torch. The thieves were seen running away from the restaurant as soon as it started smoking.
Investigators said the back of the restaurant was burned.
No one was injured. The store clerk was unsure if anything was taken, police said.
