Los Angeles: Detectives are asking for the public's help in identifying two robbery suspects shown in video footage as they robbed a drug store.

The first suspect, armed with a gun, confronted three employees. The robber demanded the name brand pharmaceutical drugs OxyContin and Dilaudid. When workers informed the suspect that the drugs were not available, he pistol-whipped two of the employees.
