The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of two men with ties to Chicago who were involved in a 2016 carjacking in Chicago and an armed robbery in Wisconsin.

On Dec. 28, 2016, the two suspects entered a Swan Pharmacy in Wauwatosa, Wisc., and displayed a handgun, according to the FBI. They demanded and were given an unknown quantity of prescription narcotic medication.

The two men left the pharmacy driving a black Lexus SUV with Illinois plates that had been stolen in an armed carjacking in Chicago on the same day, the FBI said. The stolen vehicle was recovered after the Wisconsin robbery.
