Police with the DeKalb County gang unit convinced one of four men wanted in connection with a pawn shop robbery to turn himself in.

Cameron Butler is facing charges in connection with a robbery at 3:30 a.m. Monday that put $9,000 worth of guns and electronics on the street last week, police said.

Because he is a juvenile, his mugshot will not be released, police said.

The four men are believed to have cased the Candler Road Pawn Shop and made off with six long rifles, a replica Thompson submachine gun and two Sony PlayStation 4s, according to a DeKalb County police report.

Butler turned himself in Wednesday night, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Anyone with information about the remaining suspects is asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, text information to 274637 or visit crimestoppersatlanta.org. Tipsters can remain anonymous and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000.
