WEST VALLEY CITY — Police are seeking a man and woman who allegedly tied up a man and ransacked his house Wednesday afternoon.
The robbery occurred around 1:20 p.m. near 3500 Orchard Hills Way, according to West Valley City police Lt. Matt Elson. A man told police he was sleeping when a male and female entered his house. The man and woman pointed a gun at the victim and restrained him with Zip Ties, Elson said.
