A masked man armed with a crowbar robbed a woman in her home southeast of Mount Davidson in San Francisco on Friday afternoon, police said.

A 36-year-old woman was inside the home in the 800 block of Foerster Street around 2 p.m. when a man appeared in the kitchen wearing a mask and armed with a crowbar.

The suspect ordered the victim to sit as he and another man went through the house. The men fled with items including a laptop, cash and security equipment, police said.
