Authorities make arrest in Millard County cold-case robbery

SCIPIO, Millard County — Authorities here have made an arrest in a cold-case robbery captured on videotape.

On Jan. 19, two masked men walked into the Sunmart Texaco and held up the convenience store. Tape from a surveillance camera shows one of the men pointing a handgun at the clerk and both men running out into the night. For months, Millard County sheriff's deputies pleaded for information on the robbers' identities.

Someone recently approached them with information, the sheriff's office said. Police were able to arrest a 19-year-old Mona man and a 21-year-old Nephi man on investigation of aggravated robbery and possession of a dangerous weapon.
