LILBURN, Ga. — The Gwinnett Police Department is still searching for a suspect they say robbed a pawn shop at gunpoint in Lilburn on Saturday.

Officers said they responded to Cash American Pawn located at 4814 Stone Mountain Highway in Lilburn just after 2:15 p.m. on Saturday after a caller told 911 the store was currently being robbed.

The man entered the store with a black handgun and immediately told two employees he was committing a robbery, according to a statement from police. The suspect then walked both employees to the back of the store, where he allegedly zip-tied the two while making them lay face-down.
