STANLEYTOWN, VA – The Henry County Sheriff's Office is searching for two men in connection to the armed robbery of Food Lion in Stanleytown.
At 11:49 p.m. on Monday, two African-American men entered the grocery store on Fairystone Park Highway and one of them pointed a 9 millimeter handgun at employees, according to the Martinsville-Henry County 9-1-1 Center.
