Giles County deputies are searching for two inmates who escaped from a work detail in Pearisburg Saturday morning.
According to the Sheriff's Office, John Haynes and Ronald Dalton II stole a car from the detail area in the 300 block of Thomas Drive and are believed to have left the area.
Police found the Tauraus, but the men remain on the run. Officers located the car Sunday afternoon in a wooded area of Patrick County.
Police also checked out a Shell station in Rich Creek after a woman reported seeing one of the men shortly after they escaped Saturday morning.

The gas station is just a few miles down the road from a county maintenance complex where the men escaped Saturday at 9 a.m.
They were on a work-release program at the facility, where county vehicles are kept and repaired. A security camera caught the image of the two men walking away from their jobs.
