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 thief grabbing a case of beer then walking toward the door.
Before leaving, the crook pulled out a gun and threatened the store clerk.
Deputies responded to a similar call in the Pixley area just hours later.
Two armed men approached an older man outside a meat market and demanded his wallet.

The man refused, and that's when one of the suspects hit him in the head with a gun.
The two suspects left the scene in what's being described as a Silver Acura SUV, similar to the one seen at the Earlimart robbery.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Tulare County Sheriff's Office.
