Since April 28, the two suspects have been linked to robberies at four Metro PCS stores and a Boost Mobile location all within southern sections of Dallas.
In most cases, the suspects enter the store and use handguns to hold employees and customers at gunpoint while they steal money and merchandise.
The FBI calls the men aggressive, but says no one has been physically injured during their robberies.
Investigators believe a third person is driving a getaway car identified as a black Nissan Altima SL with a sunroof and possibly paper tags.
The men are known to wear hats, sunglasses and gloves, and both brandish handguns.
