Two men robbed a St. Cloud pawnshop of coins and precious-metal bars, and authorities are hoping someone has information that can lead them to the suspects.

The robbery occurred mid-afternoon Thursday at MaX it Pawn on West Division Street, police said Saturday.

Surveillance video shows one of the suspects distracting employees while his accomplice opened a display case and took the 21 coins and the metal bars, according to police.

Both suspects are black. One was 35-40 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 150 pounds, and wearing a black winter jacket. The other is 30 to 35 years old, also 5-11 and 150 pounds, and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and a black winter jacket.

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call police at 1-320-251-1200.
