The search continues for three men police say held a babysitter and four young children at gunpoint inside a South Lubbock home. The robbery happened around 10:30 Wednesday night on the 1300 block of 61st Street. Police say the babysitter was home alone with the children when three men kicked in the back door, and started demanding money. The suspects were armed with a shotgun, rifle, and handgun. Investigators say the robbers got away with a safe and other valuables. It appears they didn't physically hurt any of the victims, but police say these are dangerous men who need to be locked up. The young victims were not able to give a detailed description of the suspects to police. If you have any information on this crime call the Crimeline at 741-1000.
