Officers with the Albemarle County Police Department were dispatched to Bellair Market, located at 2401 Ivy Road, for a report of an attempted burglary on Friday at 4:30 a.m.
Upon arrival, officers spoke to the store clerk who stated that two white males attempted to break the glass of the front door with a rock. Once the suspects realized there were employees inside the store, they ran off. The clerk stated the suspects appeared to be young, white males wearing facial masks.
