WASHINGTON - An attempted armed robbery inside a Georgetown massage spa is now being investigated by police.
The incident, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, happened at the Coco Health Spa Georgetown Massage on Monday.

On their way out, the men are also accused of trying to take another person's purse.
The manager at Coco Health Spa told FOX 5 he and his two employees were terrified and that the men initially asked for a 30-minute massage.
The police department said the men left the Coco Health Spa without taking anything and were gone before officers arrived.
Surveillance cameras caught the suspects on camera, and MPD has released photos of the men they're looking for.
On Tuesday, detectives believe one of the men tried to stick up the WG Wellness Center on Connecticut Avenue in Northwest.
According to the police report, the suspect asked for another massage and when he was escorted to a back room, he pulled out a gun and demanded an employee give him money. However, the employee explained there was none at the location.
Anyone who can identify the suspects or has any information about these incidents should reach out to detectives.
