Gwinnett County police are looking for two men who tried to cut the power to a gun store and rob it, a department press release said.

The men went to David’s Gun Room on Buford Highway in Norcross around 1:20 a.m. on Sept. 14. They’re seen on surveillance footage trying to shut off the power to the building; they were unsuccessful and broke the power meter, police said. They couldn’t get into the building, so they left, according to police.
