Based on the CCTV obtained by Dimacutac, six men who posed as police officers barged into Agencia Brillantes Pawnshop at around 11:45 AM on Wednesday, February 21.
The suspects initially informed the pawnshop guards that they would just serve an arrest warrant on one of the pawnshop employees. But a few minutes later, suspects drew out their firearms and started to seize various jewelry.
The suspects were then seen exiting the pawnshop, carrying big bags.
According to Dimacutac, the pawnshop manager, cashier, and staff were able to hide during the robbery incident.
The man-hunt operation against the six fleeing suspects continues.
