Original Coverage

By Chris Durden & Cliff Judy (WICHITA, Kan.)

Wichita police are investigating an attempted robbery of the Al Nor Grocery & Bryan House.

Police say around five o'clock Wednesday afternoon, two suspects entered the store and tried to rob the store owner. The man fought with suspects, and a security guard who splits his time between two stores joined the fight.

The victims suffered minor injuries. They were able to detain one of the suspects before the other ran away empty-handed. Police say the suspects were not armed.

Police say the outstanding suspect was a light-skinned black or Hispanic man with a slender build. Investigators say the man ran away with no shirt on because it was ripped off during the fight, and he was also wearing blue surgical gloves.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
