Home invasion leads to drug bust

Salt Lake City police are investigating a home invasion robbery over drugs.

Police said the 47-year-old victim called officers after two men wearing masks and carrying guns rushed inside his basement apartment when he answered a knock on the door.

"The suspects took computer equipment and illicit drugs from the apartment," Salt Lake City police spokesman Dennis McGowan said in a statement Monday. "The suspects then fled on foot after hitting an unidentified victim who also fled the scene."

When officers arrived, they found marijuana and packaging equipment still there, police said. Two men were booked into jail on investigation of drug distribution and warrants.
