Police in Washington's Virginia suburbs say two would-be carjackers fled when a splash of hot cocoa and a dash of resourcefulness entered the mix.

Prince William County police said in a statement that a 50-year-old woman exited a 7-Eleven convenience store at 15052 Cardinal Drive in Woodbridge on Saturday night with some purchased items.

That's when two men, one with a handgun, approached and demanded her vehicle.
