ATM Robbery in Taylorsville, Utah
Salt Lake City, Utah – A stunning $200,000 heist unfolded in Taylorsville, Utah when a group of six individuals allegedly robbed an ATM of its cash while it was being serviced by an ATM technician. Calvin Brantley, 29, Jevaunte Reese, 32, Lashawn Charleswell, 31, and Keaira Woods, 26, all from Houston, Texas, and Tiras Jack, 44, and Harold Oliver, 37, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, face serious charges.
According to court documents, on September 11, 2024, the Taylorsville Police Department and special agents from the FBI responded to a duress alarm at the Mountain America Credit Union ATM. Upon arrival, law enforcement spoke to an ATM technician who was present during the robbery. The technician is contracted through a company that repairs ATM machines and has access to the cash stored inside.
During the service call, multiple males pushed the ATM technician down and one told him to “stay down.” The technician saw the men take the boxes out of the ATM which contained $200,000 in cash, and run and take off in a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee that was parked nearby.
Using a GPS tracker on one of the license plates, law enforcement identified the location of one of the white Jeep Grand Cherokee at a rest stop in Paragonah, Utah, and took six people into custody. Additionally, $195,691 was recovered from inside the vehicle.
Brantley, Oliver, Reese, Charleswell, Jack, and Woods are charged with credit union robbery. Brantley, Oliver, Reese, and Charleswell are scheduled for their initial appearance on the indictment on October 7, 2024. Jack and Woods are scheduled for their initial appearance on October 8, 2024, in courtroom 7.1 before a U.S. Magistrate Judge at the Orrin G. Hatch United States District Courthouse in downtown Salt Lake City.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce gun violence and other violent crime.
An indictment is merely an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
