Suspicious powder creates scare at warehouse

A white powder set off a scare at a warehouse in Pittsylvania County Wednesday.  It happened at an EToys warehouse in Ringgold.

A company spokesperson say workers preparing to unload a truck found a white powder and their eyes started burning.  Emergency crews were called and preliminary tests did not indicate any hazardous substance.  Two workers were taken to Danville Regional Medical Center for evaluation.

A Hazardous materials team will perform more testing Thursday.
