(KSL News) SWAT teams and Salt Lake Police move in on armed robbery suspects barricaded in a Rose Park Home.
Officers say it all began when one of the suspects robbed a 36 -year- old man at gunpoint.
Detectives say the victim gave one of the suspects ---a woman ---a ride home just before 10:00 last night.
After arriving at the home, the woman invited him inside. Police say that's when an armed man took the victim by surprise and robbed him.
Det.Dwayne Baird/ Salt Lake City Police Dept.: "Came out from a back room, pointed a shotgun at him, robbed him, and relieved him of his money."
The victim then ran out of the home and called police. He told officers three people were in the home ...a woman, the man who robbed him, and the other woman who he gave the ride to in the beginning.
Police then called in a SWAT team. All three eventually surrendered and were arrested.
Police say the gunman is 54 -year- old Robert Paul Bracaile. He now faces charges for aggravated robbery. All three are in jail this morning.
