Suspects wanted after violent attempted robbery of 99-cent store

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police are looking for three suspects they said robbed a 99-cent store and assaulted an employee with pepper spray.

The robbery happened back in October at a location off of Bellaire Blvd. in Houston.
