The age of social media has been a big benefit for law enforcement officers.  The Tazewell County Sheriff's Office has been using Facebook to get help from the community when it comes to solving crimes.

The most recent post came on Monday, Feb. 4.  They are searching for a pair of men who may be connected to reported shoplifting at the Pounding Mill Walmart.

Anyone who recognizes the men in the pictures should call the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office at 276-988-5966 or you can send them a private message on Facebook.
