A Holly Hill woman was robbed at gunpoint Thursday night by four gunmen, at least one of them with manners.
A 65-year-old Catamount Road woman said she was in bed and her granddaughter's boyfriend, who had been living with her, was outside.
Around 11:35 p.m. four men burst through her front door, three armed with handguns and another with a shotgun. The gunmen took her flat screen TV and about 10 pocketbooks.
When a subject grabbed a particular pocketbook, the woman told the gunman her medicine was in that one. He apologized and put the pocketbook back. He then told the woman they weren't there to kill anyone.
When the men left, the boyfriend ran into the house and said he ran off after seeing the gunmen drive up. The woman said the boyfriend then left, but did not leave in the vehicle in which he normally drove.
Deputies reached the boyfriend on his phone. He said he was on his way back to the residence. When deputies asked where he was located, he hung up.
No descriptions were given of the gunmen.
If anyone has any information on the robbery, they are asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC or the OCSO at 803-534-3550.
