Nanaimo Mounties are looking for two suspects who committed an armed robbery at the Stock Exchangers pawn store in Westhill Centre last week.

Investigators are still trying to track down two suspects who robbed the Stock Exchangers pawn store, located at 1808 Bowen Road in Westhill Centre.

The robbery happened Friday at 1:50 p.m. when two men, with their faces disguised and one carrying a shotgun, entered the business and took an undisclosed amount of jewelry from the display cases.

The two then walked out the front door and ran to an older model blue Honda Civic parked on Dufferin Crescent.

The vehicle had no plate attached and has not been located.

An employee followed the two males to the car and when they started to drive away the employee threw a rock at the back window, causing a small puncture hole in the bottom right corner.

Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.
