Amanda Butterfield ReportingNearly a million dollars of loot was taken from a home in Hobble Creek Canyon. It's one of the biggest heists the Utah County Sheriff's department has dealt with.
Over a million dollars of property was taken from the home; mostly small things, worth a lot of money.
Dennis Harris, Utah County Sheriff's Depart.: "We're looking at 15-thousand dollars cash, near a million dollars in jewelry."
It was taken from Nedra Roney, a founder of Nu Skin. In 1984, she and her brother founded the company that offers a skin care product line.
Here's what police say happened. Roney hired two men to move stuff from Jackson Hole to Hobble Creek.
Dennis Harris, Utah County Sheriff's Dept.: "These were people hired by her to help her, she's used them in the past."
Now, the two men are suspects.
Dennis Harris: "These guys were observed to be in areas of the home they shouldn't have been."
It took police a day, but they caught up with the men, back in Jackson Hole where they're being held.
Dennis Harris: "We're working very close with Wyoming authorities."
Utah County has a lot of man power on this case. In fact, detectives are on their way to Wyoming to question the suspects, hoping they'll recover the loot from one of the biggest burglaries they've ever been on.
Dennis Harris: "It's probaly one of the biggest ones I remember, the 27 years I've been in law enforcement."
There's no word if any of the valuables have been recovered.
