A second suspect, a 5’7″ tall black male in a white v-neck t-shirt, then enters the store behind the first suspect and appears to throw a firework.

The fireworks made a loud bang and startled the suspects and the two men ran from the scene empty-handed. Arlington police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
