Attention, Kmart shoppers: Robbery in Aisle 1.

A cashier’s scream mobilized about half a dozen Kmart shoppers Saturday, and they chased down and captured a man who police said had just robbed the store.

Tirar Tortorello, 25, of Concord, was being held on charges of strong-arm robbery.

Kmart security manager Russ Clark said five or six shoppers heard a cashier scream and took off after the robber. Police said the man ran down the road, and motorists got out of their cars and joined the chase.
