Utah residents are being warned of 'black market' sandbags that were taken for free, but are now being sold to neighbors for a profit.
SALT LAKE CITY — With potential flooding on the horizon for much of Utah, it should come as no surprise that some people are looking to take advantage of others ahead of a possible crisis.
According to the office, there are people hoarding sandbags that have been distributed for free at various city and community locations, and then listing them online for a hefty price. A quick search for sandbags on Facebook Marketplace turns up dozens of listings, with many selling for up to $10 a bag. While some postings are from legitimate businesses, others are not.
"It puts a real cramp on the ability for people who might need the sandbags to go and fill their own and use them to protect their property," he said.
