SALT LAKE CITY -- Two women were arrested Friday after they allegedly stole a revolver from a 58-year-old man and then tried to resell him his own gun.
Amber Romero, 29, and Brooke Alires, 26, came to the home of the victim, who was selling several items before he moved out of the state. The pair stole a revolver from the man before leaving, according to a press release from the Salt Lake City Police Department.
