SALT LAKE CITY – Salt Lake City Police are searching for a man who allegedly attempted to carry out a robbery with a knife.

The residents were home, and they confronted the suspect, who dropped the laptops and fled. Ryan Sanders of the Salt Lake City Police Department said the man could be dangerous.
“He had a 9-inch knife and so that’s something you definitely need to be careful about and be safe, make sure your doors are always locked,” he said.
