Pima County sheriff's deputies are looking for two men, wanted in connection with the theft of thousands of dollars of cigarettes from a southside convenience store, authorities said.

Shortly before 2 a.m. on April 25, deputies responded reports of a theft at Circle K, 6750 S. Craycroft Road. They were told that two men went behind the counter, filled a backpack with roughly $3,000 in cigarettes and fled in a light blue 1980s or 1990s model Acura with peeling paint on the hood, said Deputy Ryan Inglett, a sheriff's department spokesman.

The first suspect is believed to be in his 20s, standing approximately 5'11" with a thin build, black hair and black facial hair, Inglett said. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, jeans, white shoes and was carrying a black backpack, Inglett said.

The second suspect is also approximately 5'11" with a thin build and in his early 20s. He was last seen wearing an orange beanie, black shirt, white flannel sweatshirt, jeans and black shoes.

Anyone with information should call 911 or 88-CRIME.
