Boozing Bandit Fails in Torrance Market Robbery Attempt
A drunken armed man attempted to rob Shoppers Market at 110 E Carson St Torrance. Clerk Cynthia Gussman 36 eyed him as he pulled a pistol from his pocket and demanded cash but she refused to give in and alerted assistant manager Robert Knoches 24. The gunman fled as deputy sheriffs closed in, leaving no trace after a brief chase. The 17-year-old box boy Robert Howe offered keyless resistance prompting the robber to retreat. Police conducted a thorough area search but found no further evidence.
