Nothing was taken as the robbers took off running.
From the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office…
Deputies were called to the Country Corner Store, 1036 Hitesburg Church Rd., Virgilina, last night (1/8/10), at 8:24 PM, for an attempted armed robbery. The store clerk said that a tall black male wearing an orange ski mask and black bib-overalls came into the store and pointed a handgun at her, demanding the money from the cash register. About that time, a cutomer’s vehicle pulled onto the lot, and another black male wearing a reddish-colored bandana over the lower part of his face and a tan-colored hooded jacket, came into the store, telling the first one that “they had to go”. The customer who had pulled onto the lot saw them run behind the store. They ran without taking anything. A Sheriff’s Office tracking dog was called to the scene, and tracked a short ways down the road behind the store. It is possible that they may have left from that point on a late 1980’s model Ford LTD, or a similar vehicle.
