Pawn shops

Overview

Pawn is one of the loudest legal-front businesses on the V wire: runners, appraisers, cargo drama, and crew rivalries. Four shops currently matter for watchers — ownership below is the desk cut as of early October 2026.

M1 (Robert De Souza) of The Locksmiths ran the mid-September handoff — crews completed missions / deals for keys to one of four city pawn shops.

Hawick · also Brick Bois Pawn, Hawick Pawn

Brick Bois took the Hawick shop after negotiations with The Locksmiths (Sept 14) and rebranded it THE BRICK HOUSE. Co-owned by the five Brick Bois principals; Jean Paul is the named Owner on the wiki roster.
