Weapons were stolen from a Newport pawn shop during an early morning burglary Friday, and police are looking for help finding the burglars.

Newport police Chief Leonard Macdaid would not say how many people they believe were involved in the 5 a.m. burglary of The Money Shop, but police are searching actively for anyone involved.

Macdaid also would not say what weapons were stolen or how the business was broken into.

While the shop did not have a surveillance camera, Macdaid said it does have a security system.

Macdaid said he could not release any more details about the investigation, but he asked that the public provide any information that might be related to the burglary.
