Fayetteville police say several men armed with guns held up a house full of guys for over an hour on Mica St. early Saturday morning.
The victims said they heard a knock at the door. Thomas Johnson said when he answered the door he was hit in the head with a gun and beaten with a baseball bat.
The victims said they were held up in one room for over an hour at gunpoint while the suspects ravaged the house. They say the robbers were all dressed in black and had their faces covered with bandanas. One victim says he was hit in the stomach with a bat - a punishment for opening his eyes.
The victims say all their cell phones were stolen, and money was taken out of all their wallets. They say the robbers also took computers and a TV.
The victims said once the robbers left they went to a neighbor’s house and called 9-1-1.
Police are searching for four men involved.
