A transient climbed over a counter at a downtown San Diego convenience store but fled without spoils when he failed to pry open the register, police said Friday.
The abortive robbery took place just after 11 p.m. Thursday at the 7- Eleven store at 525 C Street, San Diego Police Officer John Buttle said.
“A white male adult walked in, jumped the front counter and tried to open the register,” Buttle said. “He was unable to open the register and fled.”
Detectives from the SDPD’s robbery unit were called to the scene to investigate.
