Local law enforcement is on the lookout for two men following a robbery at gunpoint in Mount Airy late Friday night.
The incident occurred at the Mayberry Business Center, 796 W. Lebanon St., at about 11:15 p.m. when two black males allegedly entered the establishment, displayed a black handgun and demanded money from the woman who was running the business, according to a report from the Mount Airy Police Department.
After getting an undisclosed amount of money, the two men, one who was reportedly wearing a black hooded jacket, fled the business, reported Lt. Jeff Inman.
Officers with the Mount Airy Police Department searched the area looking for the suspects, but as of 7 p.m. Saturday, they had not been located.
With little in the way of descriptions of the two suspects, the police department is looking for any information the public may be able to offer in the case.
The business center, like others in the area, allows its customers to play sweepstakes games online.
