Edmonton police hope the public can help them identify two people responsible for an armed robbery at a pawn shop earlier this year.

At around 7:40 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 24, police said a man and woman went into a pawn shop in the area of 126 Avenue and Fort Road.

The pair went up to the jewelry counter where the man allegedly pulled out a firearm and smashed the display case. The man and woman grabbed what police said was about $10,000 worth of jewelry and ran out of the store.

Surveillance video released by the Edmonton Police Service Wednesday shows the pair was in the store for less than 20 seconds. Both suspects have their faces covered and the hoods of their jackets on at the time.

Police are asking for anyone with information about the suspects to call the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.

Anonymous information can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online.
