Burglary attempt reported at pawn shop

Two men attempting to break into a pawn shop early this morning damaged the business, but did not appear to get away with any merchandise.

According to a report from the Springfield Police Division, officers responded to Pawn Star, Inc., 2819 E. Main St., shortly after 4 a.m. The report showed the front door on the north side of the building was shattered.

Inside the business, a glass display case was also damaged as well as the cash register. However, the owner of the business told police the display case and cash register were empty and nothing was missing.

A surveillance video showed two men walk to the southeast corner of the business wearing all black. The suspects put on masks before trying to break into the business.
