Two individuals are currently in custody following an attempted aggravated robbery at a Vape City store in El Paso, as reported by local authorities. According to the City of El Paso, the incident took place on Monday when an employee at the 3910 Doniphan location was confronted by two men, one allegedly wielding a gun in an attempt to steal property from the shop.
