Paul Wood, who owns Church Street Gold Pottery and Furniture, said his security cameras captured a man and a woman switching real gold they were selling for fake bullion bars.
This is the moment suspected fraudsters allegedly conned a pawnbroker out of nearly £1,800 in cash in a 'fake gold trick'.
The couple then left with the money from Church Street Gold Pottery and Furniture, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs. 'He had the gold in this blue velvet bag and he kept on trying to put it back in there while I was trying to weigh it and I had to keep telling him 'I don't want your bag'. 'They then said they had some more gold, but I looked at that too and thought it didn't look right, so I said I wouldn't be buying it.

He slammed Staffordshire Police's response and believes the daring crooks could strike again elsewhere due to their lack of action.He added: 'I dialled 999 straight away but they told me to call 101 which took an hour to get through to.
