The Tampa Police Department has released a video that shows two suspects in a March 24 armed robbery. Now, they need your help to identify the men shown on film.

The video captures the suspects at the Gas Quik convenience story, 1501 E. Fowler Ave., as they were using the victim’s debit card to remove money from an ATM, Tampa police said in a media release. It shows one suspect withdrawing money and captures the second suspect for only a few brief moments.
