A Rehoboth Beach woman was robbed by two men as she was parking her car, and the men then burglarized her home, Delaware state police said.

It hasn't been determined whether the incident was a random robbery or whether the victim was targeted, according to police.

The incident happened late Tuesday when the 51-year-old woman returned to her Canal Court home about 11 p.m. in the Canal Landing community.

While parking her car, she was confronted by two men, one of which was armed with a gun, said police Sgt. Walter Newton.

The pair forced her out at gunpoint and into her home, which they searched for jewelry and money. Before leaving, the robbers took the woman's purse and other property and left her in the garage.

"They made her kneel against the wall," Newton said. "She waited awhile and then ran to a neighbor and called police."

The victim was not injured.
