Oklahoma City police arrested two men, Tuesday morning, in connection with string of armed robberies, after they were caught red handed at a southwest Oklahoma City pharmacy.

The suspects are identified as 22-year-old Jacob Graham and 21-year-old Jacob Underwood. In all they are suspects in eight separate robberies.

Police say their crime spree started at the US Food convenience store near NW 31st and Drexel Ave. The clerk was held up at gunpoint just before 8 p.m. Monday.

The description of the man who robbed this store matched the description of the man who held up all those other stores that were targeted. He was finally caught by an alert officer who was at the right place at the right time.

“An alert officer spotted a car outside of the CVS and the way that it was parked over to the side of the store caught his eye,” said MSgt. Gary Knight with the Oklahoma City Police Department.

“And he noticed someone was in it. And as he was pulling up to check on the vehicle, one of the suspects came running out with a bag of money.”

News 9 obtained surveillance video from the 4th convenience store that was hit.

In the video you can see the suspect pointed a gun at the clerk and tried to hide his face by covering it with a grey hoodie with bright green lettering on it. Clerks at the other stores say a man wearing the exact same thing robbed them too.

News 9 checked and Graham has no prior offenses on his record. And Underwood has only been in jail before for nonviolent crimes.
