SALT LAKE CITY — Two men who robbed a bank Monday left a Christmas gift for those inside as they took off with the stolen cash. It was a box wrapped in blue paper with snowmen printed on it, which they claimed was a bomb.
But the only thing the box contained was a package of Mrs. Freshley's Honey Buns.
The Salt Lake City Division of the FBI is now offering a reward of $10,000 for information that leads to the capture of two men they are calling the "Honey Bun Bandits."
The men are alleged to have robbed a Zions Bank Monday at 1420 South and 300 West. While no one was injured in the robbery, they were armed and pointed their guns at both customers and employees.
Salt Lake- The new owners of KTVX-Channel 4 and KUCW-Ch. 30 are making significant cuts to the staff of the Salt Lake TV stations.
Brian Jones, co-COO and executive vice president of Nexstar Broadcasting Group, didn’t provide specifics about which staff members or how many were laid off, except to confirm that he will be hiring a new station manager to replace Matt Jaquint.
Industry sources indicate at least 15 staffers are losing their jobs. Also on Tuesday, longtime reporter Chris Vanocur’s KTVX Twitter account was shut down. He didn’t return calls by the Tribune’s deadline.
Nexstar, which recently acquired the Utah stations (along with eight others) from Newport Television, is known for cost-cutting. It’s regular procedure for the company, which owns 58 stations and manages 23 others, to centralize business functions at regional hubs. The KTVX/KUCW accounting, research and traffic (program and commercial scheduling) departments are being eliminated; those functions will be handled at other Nexstar sites.
