FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police are on the lookout for two armed men who robbed a TJ Maxx store.

Cameras rolled as they walked into the business on North Federal Highway and 31st Street, on Tuesday.

According to Fort Lauderdale Police, they forced the manager to open the safe at gunpoint.

Detectives believe this could be connected to a robbery in Pompano Beach that occurred last month. In that case, a man wearing a Kangol cap, posed as a customer before pulling a gun on a clerk.

In both cases, the thief got away with cash from the register and safe.

If you have any information on this crime, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
