Police were looking for an armed man who held up a Springville tanning salon Wednesday night.

The man went into Golden Globe Tanning, 1190 N. Main St., about 8:10 p.m., and demanded money from the staff and customers, Springville police wrote in a press release. He took a "small amount" of cash and ran away toward the south end of the shopping center.

He was described as 160 pounds and 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches. He was wearing a hoodie and a ski mask, police wrote. He was carrying a dark-colored handgun with a chrome hammer.
