Police are hunting for a male suspect who claimed to have a bomb during a holdup at an east Salt Lake City bank late Monday afternoon.
Salt Lake City police Detective Robin Heiden said the suspect — a thin, 6-foot white male, about 30 years old, with a scraggly beard, wearing black clothing, including a cap with a Utah Jazz logo — entered the Zion's Bank branch office at 1304 S. Foothill Drive about 5 p.m.
The man approached a teller and, claiming he had an explosive device on his person, demanded cash. The teller complied and the suspect fled on foot into the Foothill Village shopping center parking lot.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call SLCPD at 801-799-3000, or anonymously text 274637 with the keyword TIPSLCPD.
