Burglars Smash Into Pawn Shop With Pickup Truck: Video

SNELLVILLE, GA — Gwinnett County Police are seeking six robbers they say rammed a pickup truck into the side of a pawn shop then robbed the place.

Police received a call from an alarm company at about 7 a.m. Monday, saying motion was detected inside the Lucky Pawn store, at 3560 Stone Mountain Hwy. in Snellville.

An officer arrived and found that a side wall of the business had been smashed. There was an abandoned black pickup truck still running in the parking lot, with its headlights still on and driver's side door open.

The owner of the business arrived and allowed police to review video surveillance of the crime. Video showed the black truck forcefully backing into the side wall of the business.

After a large hole was created, the truck pulled forward and six men are seen entering through the opening.

The thieves — who police say were in and out of the business in about a minute — stole gaming systems, video games and a television set.

All firearms and jewelry were secured at the time, police said.

Video showed the robbers fleeing in a light-colored SUV. In the video, one of the robbers is shown wearing a distinctive blue or purple jacket with the "Oreo" logo on it.

Police were working Tuesday to track down the owner of the black pickup truck. At the time of the robbery, it had not been reported stolen.
