Two men were arrested after robbing early Thursday a northwest Harris County Whataburger at gunpoint.

The men entered about 12:15 a.m. the Whataburger, at Cypress Creek Parkway and Beaver Springs, near Cypress Station, deputies with the Harris County Sheriff's Office said at the scene.

The duo - who police did not identify - held employees at gunpoint and demanded money from the cash register.

The pair stole a handful of cash - the exact amount was not immediately clear - and escaped.

But, their loot wound up contributing to their downfall.

The money had a tracking device on it that led law enforcement right to men, deputies said.

Deputies found the duo off of nearby Butte Creek. They also found the missing money.

One of the men was bitten by a dog, used by deputies to track them down.

There were no other injuries.
