Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The Robbery at Cyprus Credit Union
Just under two weeks ago, a shocking incident occurred at the Cyprus Credit Union in West Valley, Salt Lake City. A federal grand jury has now indicted 44-year-old Joey Shaun Symond in connection with the crime.
The Incident
On February 10, Symond entered the Cyprus Credit Union located at 3432 W. 3500 South. He approached a teller and handed over a note threatening violence if money was not handed over. The teller complied, and Symond made off with a sum of cash.
Police Response
Following the robbery, the Unified Police Department received a tip-off from a relative of Symond, who claimed that he had confessed to the crime. Officers quickly arrived at the scene and were able to positively identify Symond as the suspect. A significant amount of stolen money was recovered at the time of his arrest.
Suspect’s Background
It was revealed that Symond has a criminal record dating back to 1999, including a previous arrest for robbery in 2009. However, this charge was later dismissed without prejudice. The upcoming jury trial scheduled for April 26 will determine the outcome of his latest offence.
Community Safety Initiative
The Department of Justice has stated that this case falls under Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence. By bringing together law enforcement agencies and communities, the initiative strives to create safer neighbourhoods for all residents.
Stay tuned for further updates as the case progresses through the legal system. The safety of our communities remains a top priority, and initiatives like Project Safe Neighborhoods are crucial in achieving this goal.
