But, according to myfoxboston, that is exactly what happened. On Friday, 80-year-old Otilia Martins witnessed the two robbers demanding cash from the register at Continental Market that is owned by her daughter Maria Nogueria and son-in-law, Manny. Without hesitation, she began pelting the robbers with apples and mangoes. Stunned, the would-be robbers tried in vain to stop the fruit-packin’ granny from bustin’ fruit bombs at them, so they aborted their heist and dashed for the door.

The robbers, Eduardo Torres-Lopez, 22, and Jesse DosSantos, 24, were both masked during the robbery attempt that was recorded on the store surveillance camera. They managed to take $500 bucks before running out of the store. But the cops cuffed them some 15 minutes later. The son-in-law ID’d them.
