MIDVALE, Utah, Feb. 9, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — Unified Police detectives are hoping to identify a group of suspects believed to be responsible for a string of taco stand robberies over the last month in Midvale.
Unified Police Lt. Lex Bell says the robberies occurred between Jan. 5 and Feb. 7, 2016, and appear to target the same taco stand company.
The first two occurred in the parking lot of the 3 Alarm Saloon located at 7273 S. State on Jan. 5 and Jan 19. The next two robberies occurred at 625 W. Center St. on Jan. 22 and Feb. 1, and the last one occurred Feb. 9 at 752 W. Center St.
During all of the robberies, the suspects used a black handgun and spoke Spanish to the victims. Bell said there are several suspects involved but one in particular has been present at all five incidents.
A reward is being offered for anyone who is able to provide information leading to the arrest of the suspects. The reward amount will be based on the validity and quality of the information provided.
