Gainesville police say they are seeing results after an ordinance was passed in November requiring pawnbrokers to maintain an electronic database of items and sellers. The aim was to make it easier for law enforcement officials to recover stolen property sold to pawnshops. “We have already begun seeing results that are a direct correlation to this ordinance,” police spokesman Cpl. Kevin Holbrook said.
