Atlanta —

A woman claims she was kidnapped at gunpoint by three men and forced to ride to various ATM's withdrawing cash.

She told police the trio approached her as she got out of her car at the Lenox Oaks Condos where she lives.  She said they forced her back into the car at gunpoint, covered her face and drove around Buckhead stopping at cash machines for money. This went on for about 30 to 45 minutes, according APD Capt. Tim Peek.

Peek told WSB's Richard Sangster, they don't have a good description of the three men.  "Their faces were partially covered." Peek said.

When they finished, the men dropped the woman back at her condo.

Authorites say a similar attack happened earlier this week and the two events could be related.
