A would-be robber took a fiery approach this week when he combined seemingly innocent store products to make an improvised flame thrower, according to the Lenior Police Department in North Carolina.
Logan Ryan Jones failed to get the cash he sought, but he did manage to set the store’s counter on fire, the department said in a news release.
It happened around 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 23, at the Ross and Company convenience store on Harper Avenue, police said. Lenoir is about 75 miles northwest of downtown Charlotte.
