SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 29, 2017 (Gephardt Daily) — Police are looking for a man they say entered a woman’s home at about 6 p.m. Thursday, threatened her with a knife and stole her minivan.

According to information from the Salt Lake City Police Department, a suspicious man was walking through the neighborhood near 1300 S. Emigration St., looking into cars and going into yards.

Neighbors noticed the man in an open garage and asked what he was doing there. When he fled, they chased after him.

The suspect ran through yards and over fences, stopping at a home on 1900 East, which he entered through an unlocked door. Inside, he confronted a woman with a knife, took her car keys and drove off in her 2016 Silver Chrysler town and Country.

Police say the suspect is either Hispanic or olive-skinned, in his mid-20s, with a spiky Mohawk, and was wearing dark clothes and a camouflage jacket.
