The Arlington County Police Department released security camera footage Thursday from a botched Aug. 19 armed robbery of the 7-Eleven near the intersection of George Mason Drive and Columbia Pike.

Nothing was taken, as a firework exploded in one of the culprit's hands, scaring both men away.

Police described the gunman as a 5-foot, 8-inch man with a medium build and black hair. He was wearing grey hooded sweatshirt, a dark bandana around his face and black shorts at the time of the incident. The other suspect was described as a 5-foot, 7-foot man with an average build and was wearing a white V-neck T-shirt and dark shorts.
