SALT LAKE COUNTY -- Deputies are looking for a man who robbed what he may have thought was a diamond company. Black Diamond Equipment actually manufactures climbing and skiing equipment.
Salt Lake County sheriff's deputies say the robber entered the company on 3900 South near 2000 East early Saturday morning.
The robber brandished an ice pick, threatened the shift manager and demanded precious metals and money. The Salt Lake Tribune reports the manager told the robber that the company does not deal in diamonds or precious metals.
Lt. Don Hutson said, "Not sure if he was unfamiliar with what this business was, that it's mountaineering gear and that type of thing."
The night crew let the robber take computers and climbing equipment.
The suspect is described as a Polynesian man in his 20s or 30s with a full-sleeve tattoo on his right arm. He was wearing a large, distinctive square-faced watch on his left wrist.
Sheriff's deputies say he's about 6 feet 3 inches tall with a medium build and a shaved head. He was driving a white 1990s Ford Escape-type SUV.
He thought it was a factory purpose-built getaway car.
There can’t be a whole lot like him around!
Well, they'll only come in second to the duct tape bandit....
I have a pair of Black Diamond gaiters. I recommend them to everyone.
6’3” Polynesian? Hardly! LOL
