Police have released surveillance video of Tuesday night's pawn shop robbery in White Center.

Four men wielding baseball bats and handguns stormed into Pawn Pros at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The thieves roughed up customers and beat an employee before making off with an unknown amount of jewelry.

According to Sgt. John Hall of the King County Sheriff's Office, the men entered the packed store and demanded that everyone inside get down on the ground. The owner of the store told police the robbers violently shoved a 9-year-old girl to the ground before smashing a number of jewelry cases and stealing what they found.
