RALEIGH — Police are asking for the public’s help in finding two men who held up a Food Lion on Strickland Road and fled in a red sedan.

The robbery happened late Wednesday. Police issued the pictures over the weekend.

Police spokesman Jim Sughrue described the incident as an armed robbery, but police did not specify what weapon was used.
