The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is asking for information about an armed robbery that took place Tuesday morning just outside Hillsborough on Old NC 86.

Shortly after 11 a.m., someone held a husband and wife at gunpoint in their home and robbed them of money and personal belongings. Deputies say this does not appear to be a random crime.

If you have any information to share, please call Investigator Upchurch at 919-644-3050.
