Two men have been arrested and charged in connection to two brutal robberies at a Lake Worth Walgreens and Fort Worth Metro PCS last month.
Now, law enforcement are asking for help looking for two other suspects they say are a part of an "interstate commerce robbery ring."
Lake Worth Police, Fort Worth Police and the FBI worked together to arrest 35-year-old Henry Pierre Rogers and 31-year-old Jhamal Antwan Farris.
Rogers faces charges of aggravated robbery and possessing a weapon as a felon.
Farris, who was out on bond for a 2018 murder charge in Everman, is charged with aggravated robbery.
Police say the men were arrested for the MetroPCS robbery.
On Oct. 15, 2023, two armed suspects broke into the pharmacy on Lake Worth Boulevard, stole approximately $5,000 from the store's safe and forced her to open a secure storage area and take out controlled substances, according to police.
Video from the incident shows one suspect, believed to be Farris, grabbing the pharmacist by the hair and forcing her to the back office at gunpoint.
At the same time, the second suspect in a black hoodie uses a taser to shock the front desk clerk and forced her to open the store's safe at gunpoint.
Police have not determined the identity of the suspect in the black hoodie.

Surveillance video shows one of the men pointing a gun to a pharmacist's head. They stole drugs from the pharmacy and cash from a safe. A clerk was also tased and seriously injured.
"In Lake Worth, they had two offenders that entered the store and committed the crime and a third was waiting in the car," said Lt. Sean Ferguson with Lake Worth Police.
Investigators believe Rogers was in a black Impala outside and served as the getaway driver.
Police say the clerk is still recovering from surgery as a result of the injuries.
"These same three were also involved in the offense in Fort Worth with a fourth gentleman," said Lt. Ferguson.
On Oct. 30, 2023, four suspects robbed the Metro PCS store on East Allen Street in Fort Worth.
Police say one suspect surveyed the store and one other acted as a lookout during the incident.
Two suspects entered the store, one of them armed, and committed a take-over style robbery.
The men got away with electronics and about $900 in cash.
Investigators say all four men left together.
Law enforcement officials are still searching for 32-year-old Demond Deshun Scott from Grand Prairie and another suspect, who still has not been identified.
Neither police department has said how they tracked down Rogers and Farris or identified Scott.
Rogers and Farris have not yet been charged in Lake Worth, but that is expected to happen soon.
Lake Worth police believe they'll be linked to other robberies.
"We’re working with the FBI to determine that. They said that there may be countless other offenses that this group has committed, and they’re just trying to put the pieces together to see if there’s anything else," said Lt. Ferguson.
Police ask anyone with information about the men who are still at large to give them a call.
