WARREN COUNTY, Va. -- Police are searching for a 57-year-old man who is accused of raping two young girls in Front Royal.

Mike Edward Haymond is accused of raping and sodomizing two girls younger than 13 years old. Police said they received two reports of the allegations on October 18, 2017.

Investigators say Haymond, a Front Royal resident, was interviewed and subsequently charged with two counts of rape and two counts of forcible sodomy.

However, police say the 57-year-old fled the area before warrants could be served.
