The accused men are wanted on a string of crimes in three states, including Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee.Police say they struck a Wal-Mart store on North Jackson Street in Tullahoma on Feb. 24 at about 12:43 a.m., using stolen tools to do the job.

"Two black males entered the store and proceeded to check the layout of the business. They were observed entering the hardware section, picking up the items that they needed to cut the locks, the cables and stuff off the computers. Got three laptop computers and walked out of a side door that was locked," said Capt. Ron Cunningham of the Tullahoma Police Department.

Police said the robbers used the same stolen tools again to open a door, leaving with $2,500 worth of computers. Police said they made their getaway in a white Lincoln Navigator.

So far, investigators believe they have struck at least 11 times, stealing about $20,000 worth of televisions and computers in a multistate crime spree.

Surveillance video shows the men in Nashville on Feb. 28 at 12:27 a.m. A couple of hours later, they show up again in Smyrna.

One man was wearing what appears to be a Dale Earnhardt jacket.

Another possible clue is that in two of their earlier thefts, police think the men left in a silver Dodge Charger and might be trying to unload the stolen items at pawn shops

.Investigators said they may be responsible for similar crimes in Georgia as well.

Anyone with information is urged to call their local police department.
