Law enforcement is searching for who they believe is the fifth person involved in the robbery of a San Antonio pawn shop, which led to an hours-long SWAT standoff.

Police surrounded a Southeast Side home Friday morning after a group robbed a Cash America Pawn in the 6800 block of West Military Drive the night before. San Antonio police said they believed a suspect in the robbery was in the house after four others were arrested.

Daniel Ray Rodriguez, 40, Daniel Ray Rodriguez Jr., 22, Xavier Noel Musquiz, 24, and Cesar Rodriguez, 36, were arrested Friday morning for their alleged involvement in the robbery, federal officials said.

Authorities are now searching for 22-year-old Martin Ramirez Hernandez.

Each suspect has been charged with robbery affecting interstate commerce. Roughly 30 firearms, several hundred pieces of jewelry and an undetermined amount of money were stolen from the pawn shop, federal officials said. The suspects are also believed to have robbed the store at gunpoint, federal officials said.

Evidence led police to believe the suspects were at a home on the corner of South New Braunfels Avenue and Monticello. They also found a vehicle matching a description of the suspects' car near the home.

Early Friday, several people left the home and were detained in traffic stops. But authorities believed others remained inside the home, so they called in a SWAT team around 2:30 a.m.

What followed was an hours-long standoff. One final suspect left the home around 7:30 a.m. and was arrested, but authorities had been told one more suspect remained inside.

Around 9 a.m., SWAT officers began firing tear gas canisters inside the home. Soon after, they entered and discovered no one was inside.

"The fifth one, we were told, went into this house up the street," McManus said, "but he either didn't or left before we were able to set up."

McManus said authorities recovered some of the stolen cash, jewelry and weapons inside the home.

McManus was confident police would capture the remaining suspect soon.

"There's been too many people arrested," he said. "We'll get information from them."

The suspect at large faces at least one charge of aggravated robbery.
