Lincoln Woman Hides While Masked Men Break Into Her Home

LINCOLN, Nebraska - Lincoln Police are searching for three men who broke into a home on South Canterbury Thursday around 5 p.m.

Officers were told that someone inside the home screamed they were being robbed and then the phone disconnected.

The 37 year old female victim told police she was home with her 2 young children and saw a blue vehicle parked outside her home. One man got out and knocked on her door but she did not answer. The man returned to the vehicle and a short time later three men got out and put on ski masks.
