LPD: An Apparent ‘Failed’ Theft Attempt At Auto Parts Store That Was Robbed Last Week

Lexington Police were looking for two men Wednesday night after what appeared to be a ‘failed’ theft attempt at an auto parts store that was robbed just eight days ago.

Police said two men who wore hoodies and bandannas over their faces, walked into an Advance Auto Parts store on Versailles Road around 8:45 p.m.

Investigators said before the men could do anything, they heard an employee calling 911, so they ran out the back of the business without getting anything.

On January 13, 2015, investigators said two men robbed the same business with one of the men putting a knife to an employee’s throat.

On Wednesday, investigators said it was too early to say if the two incidents were related.
