A Diamond District pawnshop was raided by authorities on suspicion of trafficking in stolen merchandise, The Post has learned.

Investigators with the state Attorney General’s Office and NYPD’s Grand Larceny Division, bearing a search warrant, opened the safes and seized the inventory at New Liberty Loans at 67 W. 47th St. last week, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The business is suspected of letting crooks fence goods, law-enforcement sources said.

Owner Roni Rubinov declined to comment Sunday. The AG’s Office did not respond to a request for comment, while the NYPD said the investigation is ongoing.
