AUSTIN (KXAN) - Detectives are looking for a group of men robbing jewelry stores across the state.

They are wanted in a series of smash and grab heists at Pawn and jewelry shops in Houston and Austin.

Surveillance video from a robbery at an Austin Pawn Shop clearly shows the crime in progress.

The three known suspects are identified as Nicholas Bernard Payne, Desmond Demonte O'Quinn and Philemon Lee Denton. There is also a fourth suspect, known only a "Roy."

After a long investigation, police realized the suspects were turning over the loot to the three brothers that run Mosqueda's Jewelry in Houston. 

The Mosqueda brothers are charged with organized criminal activity.
