UNION CITY, Tenn. — Police are looking for three men involved in an attempted armed robbery this weekend outside a Union City home.

Officers responded just after 9 p.m. Saturday to the report of an attempted armed robbery near the intersection of East College and Greenwood streets, according to a report from the Union City Police Department.

A woman and her teenage daughter told police the mother had gone outside to her car when she was confronted by three men, two with their faces covered and one of whom was armed with a handgun, according to the report.
