A Family Dollar in Little Rock was robbed Thursday night by two men, one of who was armed, according to the Little Rock Police Department.

Officers arrived at the location at 5200 W. 65th St. around 8:25 p.m. and secured the area, according to a police report. An employee, Kendrick Alexander, told investigators two men entered the business and robbed the store, police said.
