A woman was held at gunpoint Tuesday as part of a home-invasion robbery in Oxon Hill, authorities said.

About 8 a.m., police were called to an apartment in the 1400 block of Southern Avenue by a woman who said she had been robbed, authorities said. Investigators found that three men, at least one wearing a mask and two armed with guns, had broken into the woman's apartment and robbed her, then fled in a gray or blue Dodge Magnum, authorities said.

It was not clear what the men took, and police did not release any further information about the victim.
