VIDEO: Utah Home Invaders Caught On Camera


WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH – July 3, 2015 – (Gephardt Daily) Three men, one armed with a gun, were captured on video attempting to break into a home in West Valley City as the occupants slept.

West Valley Police responded to a call around 4:20 a.m. Friday of an armed burglary attempt at approximately 4600 Carnegie Tech Drive. This particular complex has video surveillance footage and captured the entire incident as it unfolded.

One of the suspects can be seen at the front door holding a gun and seems very unsure of what he is doing. He can be seen attempting several times to keep his face covered while keeping the gun in his hands.

“We believe that the suspects thought no one was home. Usually when someone is trying to burglarize a home where occupants might be present, they don’t usually run off when the lights suddenly turn on, they are prepared for that,” said Lieutenant Lamar Cox, West Valley City Police.

Lt. Cox said that the suspects all appear to be males and all appear to be between the ages of 18-25 years old. “The first suspect we know is a skinny Caucasian male and the second one is heavier set, but they are all wearing white clothing and are very well aware of the cameras.” said Cox. “We are hoping the surveillance footage will help identify these individuals as their behavior seems to be very out of control.”

One of the neighbors, who did not want to be identified, told Gephardt Daily the three males entered the property in separate locations; one entered the front of the complex and the other two can be seen coming around from the back.  “The first male, the one at the door, clearly has a gun,” the neighbor said.  “We cannot tell what he is waiting for standing at the front door.”

The men are also seen breaking the window of a room where two teenage girls, ages 15 and 13, were sleeping.

“This area has a tendency to have a higher amount incidents, however, we do not believe we have any clear idea what these men were doing, why they picked this particular apartment and if this was targeted or random at this point,” said Lt. Cox. “We are hoping to find out who these men are as they appear to be armed and possibly dangerous.”

Ayone with information about these three individuals is asked to call West Valley City Police at 801-840-4000. Case # 151034423
