SALISBURY — Police are searching for two people that they said robbed Walmart and both pulled out guns when a loss prevention employee approached them.

The incident occurred at approximately 9:45 p.m. on Monday. An employee noticed the two suspects attempting to conceal items on their person and in a backpack, according to a spokesperson for the Salisbury Police Department. A loss prevention employee then attempted to approach the two and get them to give up the items, at which point they both allegedly pulled out guns and threatened the employee with them.

Both of the suspects then fled the store, the spokesperson said. Police reports indicate that they fled with an estimated $50 in stolen food, snacks and candy. Police have been given security camera footage of the two and are investigating.
