I don't understand what it means

"We endeavored on Fulton County
Criminal warrant # 123456." ( this statement is referring to an attempt to make an arrest.)
Is the above the correct way to use "Endeavored."

Usually it would be "attempted to execute" the warrant.
One could say "endeavored to execute", but it is a bit flowery for making arrests.
