A woman is shaken but otherwise unharmed after allegedly being robbed at gunpoint by five masked men outside her home in Abbotsford, B.C., last week, police say.

Officers have since located both her vehicle and the vehicle the suspects used to get to her place, which was stolen, police said in a Tuesday news release.
