Police say a Lexington man was robbed at gunpoint in his own home overnight. Lexington police say a man was sitting in his home on Allendale Drive around 11pm last night, when he heard people in his back bedroom. Investigators say three men wearing hoodies and armed with a gun robbed the man. Police say it appears that the three men came in through an unlocked back door. No one was hurt in the robbery, and police say the men fled on foot. No arrests have been made and investigators say that is partly because the victim waited so long to call authorities. Police say although the robbery happened around 11pm last night, the victim did not call police until about 1am this morning.
