Investigators say the two suspects may be connected to a series of crimes across the South Valley.

Early Thursday morning, deputies responded to a call at the Speedway Market in Earlimart.
Cameras caught a suspect grabbing a case of beers then walking towards the door.
On the way out, the suspect pulled out a gun and threatened the store clerk.
Just hours later, deputies responded to a similar call in the Pixley area.

Two armed suspects approached an older man outside of a meat market and demanded his wallet.
The man refused and that's when one of the suspects pistol-whipped him in the head.
The two suspects left the Pixley scene in a Silver Acura SUV that was similar to the one seen at the Earlimart robbery.
Investigators say the suspects are two men in their mid-20s.
