Police got a search warrant and found more than 170 stolen items â valuing around $15,000.
âWe received tips from the public that there was suspicious activity happening at this specific pawn shop,â said Officer Chuck McPhilamy, with the Marietta Police Department.
Marietta City code requires all Marietta pawn shops to list every item purchased within a national database⦠so if your stolen item pops up somewhere in a pawn shop, police can help get your property back.
âItâs how, we in law enforcement, can communicate across the entire country,â Officer McPhilamy added.
But police said the owner of Pawn World Business wasnât doing that.
