Two customers fired shots at robbers during a heist Saturday at the Cash America Pawn shop on Blanding Boulevard, according to a report from the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office. <\/p>\n
Police said several people were in the pawn shop in the Cedar Hills area of Jacksonville\u2019s Westside around 4:40 p.m. Saturday when three men came in wearing all black with black masks covering their faces.<\/p>\n
One of them stayed at the door and held it open for the other two, who smashed a glass case and window and stole $9,000 worth of gold bracelets, according to information in the report.<\/p>\n
During the robbery, a 51-year-old customer asked the salesman if he wanted him to intervene, and then he pulled out a gun, pointed it at one of the robbers and yelled at him to stop and leave the store.<\/p>\n
The witnesses told police that the robbers then ran out of the store, and the customer fired once in their direction.<\/p>\n
As the robbers ran out of the shop and headed north toward a neighboring business, a 21-year-old customer also pulled out a concealed weapon and fired a shot at the men, police said.<\/p>\n
Police said they don\u2019t know if any of the robbers were hit by the gunshots.<\/p>\n
In addition to the theft, the robbers caused $6,300 in damage inside the store, according to the report.<\/p>\n
