NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. - Aiken County investigators are searching for a group of robbers who kicked down a man's door and held a gun to him. It happened at a home on Seaborn Drive in North Augusta.

The victim says two men knocked on his door and before he could answer they kicked it in.

The victim hid in the bathroom where the robbers found him, pointed a gun at him and told him to get on the ground.

The thieves then ran out. About $300 in electronics were stolen.

Jeff Magnus-I'd like to see What YOU'D do if some thug with a gun tried to knock down your door, would you try to go all Superman on him with your bare hands or a sorry kitchen knife or would you cower on the floor like a little b**** pleading -"please don't kill me...?"- Either way, I think it would be funny...

You can not blame all the issues going on in North Augusta on the people you are claiming are coming across the bridge. You do know you have thieves, robbers and rapist who actually live and have lived there whole lives in North Augusta alright.

What do you think about Tiger's return to golf for the Masters Tournament?

  • Too soon, he should focus on his family
  • He's apologized, it's time for him to return to the game
