A Salt Lake City coin dealer being held at gunpoint got police attention by swerving his pickup truck into a police station, investigators said.

A suspect was arrested as he tried to run away, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. Another man was found at the victim's house, where his wife had been tied up.

"This was just downright bizarre," said Lt. Don Hutson of the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake. "It really was like something out of a movie."

The victim, who was not identified by name, is the owner of Monarch Coin Corp. in Murray. He and his wife said two men, both wielding handguns, invaded their home Tuesday evening, tied up the wife and forced the husband to drive his own truck, presumably first to an ATM and then to his store.

The man in the truck has been identified as Dashaun Hinton, 19, while the other man was identified as Geoffrey Taylor, 28, both Salt Lake City residents.

The victims escaped without injury. The collision damaged a natural gas line at the police station, and the building was evacuated.
