Thomas Gilliland, of the Harris County Sheriff's Office, said in a news conference Friday that a group of four or five men smashed glass cases and took jewelry and other merchandise from the pawn shop. HPD officers spotted the men behind the shop, leaving the store, Gilliand said. The officers ordered the suspects to drop their weapons, but deputies said they refused.
