The men, seen in multiple surveillance videos released by authorities, are wanted in connection with five robberies.

San Diego County Sheriff's deputies (SDSO) are searching for five men wanted in connection with a series of robberies across San Diego County. 

The men, seen in multiple surveillance videos released by authorities, are wanted in connection with five robberies which took place between Oct. 23 and Oct. 24, 2016. 

The suspects robbed two 7-Eleven stores in Lemon Grove and Spring Valley during that time; the men also robbed three gas stations in the City of San Diego, officials said. 

In every case, the men would enter the stores, point a gun at the clerk and demand money, authorities said.

The robberies ended when the suspect(s) walked out with cash in their backpack and fled. 

One of the clerks who was robbed described the terrifying ordeal. 

"The two guys, he stand in front of register," Biletta said. "The gun outside the pocket. He showed me."

A former 7-Eleven clark at another store said a robbery like that would be terrifying. 

"That' the one thing were always trained as for start on, if anyone was to come with a gun, you just give them the money so they can safely go," said Naila Aguinaga.

Others in the community had not heard of the robberies, and suggeted the suspects should try getting jobs. 

"I know they say there's not jobs out here there's jobs out here," said local Eddie McCree. "You just got to want to do them, got to got to get up and what to go to work, got to have a purpose."

If you recognize the men from the surveillance video, deputies warn you not to approach them. The men are considered armed and dangerous.
