The men said they were there to talk about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but residents and police in Roy say that claim is about the only thing the men had in common with the church’s real missionaries.
The two tried to get into homes in Roy, FOX 13 reported. Police want to find the men and ask that anyone who sees call 801-774-1063.
Three women on Roy’s western half told FOX13 they were approached by the men Sunday.
“I saw him [peering into the window] and when he saw me come around the stairs he stepped back," Tonnie Baumgardner told the station, “but the other kid had his hand on the door handle.”
After shutting the door on the them, Baumgardner said they pointed at other homes in her neighborhood.
The men’s cover story apparently didn’t extend to their appearance. Instead of being clean shaven and wearing the white shirt, black tie, black slacks and black name tag that’s such a familiar garb in Utah, the two were described as white, in their early to mid 20s and wearing dark jackets. One was skinny with brown hair. The other had facial hair.
