STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. -- A convenience store in Stafford County was robbed by two men at gunpoint.
The county’s sheriff’s office today distributed surveillance photos of the two men that investigators said walked into a 7-Eleven at 1 Commerce Parkway in south Stafford at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, produced handguns, and then demanded cash.
