Officers fire at would-be robbers in Norfolk; 4 arrested (Tried to rob undercover cops)

The two men parked at McDonald's must have looked like good targets for a stickup.

It was 10:53 p.m. Both vehicles were backed into parking spaces at the restaurant on Campostella Road near its intersection with Indian River Road.

Armed with handguns and with their faces covered, two men approached the cars and pointed their weapons at the drivers in an attempt to rob them.

"Give it up," one of the men said.

But then the intended victims drew weapons and began firing. The robbers ran from who they would later learn were officers with the Norfolk Police Vice and Narcotics Unit, who were in plainclothes and working a drug case with other officers.
