Armed robbers steal jewelry from Buford Highway pawn shop
Two armed men robbed a Buford Highway pawn shop Monday afternoon and fled with about $600 in jewelry, DeKalb County police said.

The suspects walked into the pawn shop at 4230 Buford Highway and placed a DVD player on the counter at about 1:37pm, according to the police report. After walking around the store, trying to appear like normal customers, one of the suspects put a revolver to the store manager's neck and told him to get on the ground. The second suspect, also carrying a handgun, demanded three customers and several store employees also get on the ground.

The first suspect went upstairs and demanded that a second shop manager open the shop's safe, the report said. The manager told the suspect that the safe was on a timer, and he couldn't open it. The first suspect then returned downstairs and forced a manager to open a locked jewelry display counter. After fumbling with the keys, the manager opened the case, activating an alarm.

"Who hit the alarm?" the first suspect said.

An employee told the suspect the alarm sounded because the jewelry case was opened. The suspect panicked and grabbed about 25 pieces of jewelry including gold rings, bracelets and necklaces before fleeing the store with the second suspect. They were last seen headed eastbound across Buford Highway into the complex.

Police arrived shortly thereafter and took the DVD player left by suspects for "CSI" processing, the report said. No one was seriously injured in the robbery.

The first suspect was described as a black male in his mid-20s between 6 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 3 inches tall with light skin, a slender build and light facial hair. He wore glasses, a white V-neck T-shirt, red and white plaid shorts, orange and white sneakers and a black and red, one-strap bookbag. He also had long dreadlocks pulled back in a ponytail.

The second suspect was described as a black male also in his mid-20s about 6 feet tall with dark skin, a slender build and light facial hair. His hair was also dreadlocked and pulled back into a ponytail. He wore a white and black baseball cap, a white V-neck T-shirt, black pants with a "V design" on the back pockets, black sneakers and sunglasses.
