Robber holds up Hermosa Beach lingerie store
A man posed as a customer at a Hermosa Beach lingerie store, but pulled out a gun and robbed the money from the business' cash register, police said.
The crime occurred about 4 p.m. at Sassy's, 801 Pacific Coast Highway.
The man walked into store, asked about the prices of several items and pulled out a gun.
He ordered the woman to the floor, took money from the register and searched through her purse.
Before the robber fled, he forced her to the rear of the store, telling her, "If you come out, I swear I'm going to shoot you."
The man was described as Latino, in his 30s, 5 feet 6 inches tall. He had a medium build, a thick mustache, a pocked face, short dark hair, and tattoos on his arms and neck.
Anyone with information about the man is asked to contact Hermosa Beach police Detective Mick Gaglia at 310-318-0348.
