Bastrop County Sheriff’s deputies are searching for five men in connection to a string of robberies and carjackings this week in Bastrop and Travis Counties.

Around 2 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said a Hispanic man with dark hair and a mustache pulled up in a white truck in the 8100 block of Wolf Lane, forced a man to the ground at gunpoint and stole his black Toyota Tundra. Both vehicles then fled north toward Texas 71, officials said.

About five minutes later, a Hispanic man wearing a hoodie robbed the Circle K convenience store on Texas 71 in Cedar Creek, brandishing a handgun and demanding money from the register, authorities said. A customer walked in during the robbery and was forced to the ground at gunpoint. That individual later told deputies he had seen a white truck parked in the parking lot.

The white truck was later found abandoned a block from the store, officials said. According to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office it had been stolen in out of Austin in a similar carjacking the same day.

Early Tuesday morning around 9:30 a.m., the Austin Police Department found the black Toyota Truck stolen earlier in Bastrop County in the parking lot of the Food Spot convenience store at 6607 Pleasant Valley Road in Austin, officials said.

Surveillance video showed three individuals exiting the black truck to talk to two others in a PT Cruiser.

Deputies are now searching for the following men in connection to the incidents:

— A Hispanic male, approximately 18 years old, thin, with black hair and light facial hair, possibly wearing a dark gray hoodie and dark colored pants with light spots

— A Hispanic male, approximately 18 years old, thin, with black hair, possibly wearing a dark colored jacket and dark colored Nike shorts. He might have a bluetooth phone device on his left ear.

— A Hispanic male, approximately 18 years old, thin, with black hair, possibly wearing a white T-shirt, a dark colored hoodie with "Disneyland" written on the back and light colored pants

Authorities are also looking for two other men that might be able to identify the other three suspects:
