Three men who robbed an east Houston pawn shop last week are still at large, authorities said.

On Sept. 28, the trip entered the Cash America Pawn on the 6000 block of Lyons brandishing handguns and using masks to hide their faces.

One of the thieves shot fired off a shot, authorities said, before the three fled the store with four firearms and $19,000 worth of jewelry. They drove away in a black, 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with damage on the front end, according to a news release detailing the robbery.

The vehicle had Texas plates and the number GWT-3939.

"The violence shown by these suspects is unacceptable in our community," said Fred Milanowski, the special agent-in-charge at ATF's Houston Field Division. "We must catch them immediately in order to prevent further acts of violent crime."

Authorities released this description of the robbers: The first man was wearing a black hooded coat and black pants. The second was wearing a black jacket, gray pants, tan hat, tennis shoes. The last robber was wearing a gray hooded coat, red pants, sandals. All three men concealed their faces, were described as being approximately 6 feet tall and weighing 160 pounds.

Anyone with any information about the robbery should contact ATF at 888-ATF-TIPS or CrimeStoppers at 713-222-TIPS, he said. Individuals can also submit information through the mobile ReportIt® app, available both on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
