A Rock Hill woman said she was robbed on Winthrop Drive Thursday morning by four men with a handgun, who are also suspected in connection with thefts from two unlocked vehicles, according to Rock Hill Police Department reports.

Officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at about 4:36 a.m. Thursday, the report says.

The victim told officers she was getting out of her car when four men, one with a handgun, approached her. When she dropped her things and ran, she said the man with the gun hit her on the back of the head, the report says.
