Helicopters over Lomita this afternoon
An armed robber in Lomita eluded capture today, despite a large manhunt.
The suspect, described only as an adult male, confronted a pedestrian with a gun about 1:20 p.m. in the 25600 block of Oak Street, according to sheriff's Lt. Doreen Alcaraz.
Helicopters and deputies searched the area for several hours, but called off the search without finding anyone, Alcaraz said. It is not known what, if anything, was stolen from the victim.
