A disturbing story from Utah here
Salt Lake City police are investigating the robbery of a high-stakes poker game.
Police said about six to eight friends claim they were waiting to leave for a trip to Las Vegas and gathered at a home near 500 North and J Street for a few hands of poker at about 5 a.m. Tuesday.
During the game, police said the victims claimed three men wearing black Halloween costumes burst in.
"One guy has a gun, the other two have knives," Salt Lake City Police detective Jeff Bedard said Wednesday.
The robbers — whom the men described as black men wearing skeleton costumes — demanded the money.
"They just demanded the money and told them not to look at them," Bedard said.
The victims at first claimed they lost $10,000. Then they claimed they lost $19,000, police said. The three robbers fled in a van. The victims waited about 20 minutes to call police.
A police dog was brought to the home but was unable to find any sign of the robbers. Police said they were still investigating on Wednesday.
