Employees said two burglars forced open the back door of the business and then used a crowbar to get into the manager's office.

They tried to remove a small safe, deputies said, but it would not budge.

The two suspects left but returned a few minutes later and tried to take the safe, deputies said. Again, they failed.

The burglars returned a short while later with a third suspect, but all three ended up leaving the building empty-handed.

The first suspect is described as a Hispanic man, about 5 feet 11 inches tall with a medium build and black hair. He was wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, white Nike shoes and a white rag on his face at the time of the crime.

The second suspect is described as a Hispanic man, also about 5 feet 11 inches tall with a thin build. He was wearing a white/gray hoodie, black shorts, white Nike shoes and a white rag on his face.

The third suspect is described as being 6 feet 1 inch tall with a heavy build. He was wearing a black hoodie with a blue shirt underneath, white pants, white Nike shoes and white rags on his hands and face.

Anyone with information is asked to call Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers.
