LEWISBURG -- The Wal-Mart in Lewisburg was robbed and police want your help to catch the suspects.

Police are looking for two men that seem to be career criminals. Surveillance video shows two white males walking into the store on Monday and going to the electronics department and working on the locks of the computer cases for about two hours.

It seems to have taken so long because customers kept interrupting their game plan.

After finally getting the case open they stole four computers worth more than $3,000.

Police say there have been similar robberies in Raleigh and Fayette counties.

They say they are looking for two white mid to heavy set males.

They both had mustaches in the video and were wearing hats.

They left the parking lot around 9:30 p.m. Monday in a mid to full size, dark colored regular cab pickup truck.

The truck has step sides and a trailer hitch.

If you can identify these men call the Lewisburg Police Department.
