HPD Robbery Division Senior Police Officer P. Reese reported: The suspects, armed with pistols, entered the InstaCash Pawn Shop while posing as customers and robbed the employees of cash and jewelry. The suspects used plastic zip ties to restrain the victims. Suspect Medina, along with three other suspects who have not been positively identified, used similar methods to rob employees of the EZ Pawn on Valentine’s Day. Orange County detectives were able to connect shipments of teddy bears from Houston that contained stolen jewelry to the suspects, and together with HPD’s Robbery Division, were able to identify the four suspects as the men wanted in the Houston robbery. Pictures of the teddy bears and the recovered jewelry are attached to this news release.
