Houston police need help finding 3 men who robbed a liquor store for a $4,200 bottle but left with a decoy.

That's when authorities said the men asked about a $4,200 bottle that was locked in the case. When an employee unlocked it and pulled out the bottle, one of the men snatched it from the employee before running out of the store.

Investigators said a second man in the group removed another box of the same liquor from the case and tried to make off with it, only to discover the box was empty and dropped it shortly afterward. However, the robbery was not a complete success. The employee reportedly told officers the liquor the men took off with was only a decoy bottle, which was worth a lot less than the actual $4,200 bottle.

The three men are still at large, as of this writing, so police are asking for the public's assistance in finding them. Officials described the suspected robbers as three Black men, one wearing a white pullover, black shorts, a white cap, and white shoes. Another was wearing a black Nike pullover, dark shorts, and blue shoes, while the third had a visible goatee and wore a black jacket and blue jeans.
