At approximately 4:15pm we were dispatched to Walmart (200 N CooperDr) in reference to possible armed subjects in the store.

First units arrived by 4:17pm. Walmart was evacuated and an interior search was conducted. Loss Prevention reviewed video and Management decided to hold the store closed until they could track the subject movements.

It was found that the three suspected individuals exited the store prior to our arrival. The store has now reopened as we follow up on the leads provided.

Anyone with information is urged to contact us through Facebook Messenger, the P3 app, Crime Stoppers, or by calling our main line 252-438-4141

Attached is a photo of at least one person of interest.

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $761,040 grant to the county of Vance, North Carolina, to make critical infrastructure improvements needed to support business growth in the Henderson-Vance Industrial Park.

This project will promote job creation through roadway and sewer upgrades necessary for business expansion. This EDA grant, to be matched with $190,260 in state investment, is expected to create 50 jobs and generate $3.2 million in private investment.

“President Biden, the Commerce Department, and the entire administration are committed to building a better America, and these critical infrastructure investments are exactly what is needed to achieve that ambitious goal,” said Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves. “These grants will have an enormous impact on the regional economy, generating good-paying jobs and over $3 million in private investment, and will serve as an important down-payment on the over $7 billion coming to further repair and enhance North Carolina’s roads and bridges thanks to the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.”
