HOUSTON – Two men are on the run Wednesday after they used a sledgehammer to smash through the wall of a gas station in southeast Houston, police said.
Police said the men, one with a mask, another with a fake beard, broke through the brick wall and crawled into the store in the 6900 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard around 3:30 a.m.
The men tried to get into an ATM, and when they were unsuccessful they broke open the cash register. With no cash inside, the men got away with coins.
