Police say that two Lexington women were tied up and robbed in their apartment.

Two sisters in their mid-thirties, one of whom is pregnant, say they were leaving their apartment on Lenney Drive, off Wilson Downing Road, about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday when three or four black men armed with a handgun forced them back inside.

The women told police that the men duct-taped their hands and mouths and stole several items, including Christmas presents.

The women where not injured. Police say the men had a vehicle waiting for them at the rear of the apartment building.The victims told investigators that they heard what sounded like a "big engine" after the men left.
