A Hinesville pawn shop was the target of burglars sometime during the early morning hours of Wednesday morning.
According to Hinesville Police Department Assistant Chief Major Tracey Howard, the burglary may have occurred between late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. Howard said the burglars made entry into the Gold and Silver pawn shop located on the 500 block of West General Screven Way by cutting a hole in the roof of the business. Officers from the Hinesville Police Department were notified by the alarm company and went to investigate and found nothing amiss. It was later discovered a burglary had occurred when the employees reported to work and found items were missing.

A hole in the ceiling was also discovered by the employees. Howard was unable to provide what exactly was taken due to ongoing inventories being conducted.
A similar burglary had occurred at Kay’s Jewelers on West Oglethorpe Highway last year however Howard said it’s to early to determine if I was done by the same person. In that heist in September 2020, roughly one-million worth of jewels were taken from the store.
