CTV shows the moment a pair of smartly-dressed fraudsters escaped with cash after conning a pawnbroker with an audacious fake gold swap. <br/><br/>Paul Wood, 58, was left devastated after being tricked into buying fake bullion bars by a man and a woman who came into his shop last Thursday morning (20/6).<br/><br/>The pair, believed to be Eastern European, said they wanted to sell some 9-carat gold, which Paul handled and weighed before agreeing to pay them £1,765. <br/><br/>Security footage shows how the man used sleight of hand and managed to switch the bag of real gold for fake gold right under the nose of unsuspecting Paul. <br/><br/>The couple then fled the scene with the money from Church Street Gold Pottery and Furniture, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.
