A Valley woman is safely back at home after she was kidnapped at gunpoint during a home invasion on Friday morning, and one woman is behind bars in connection. 

Officers were called to the Garden Club Condos near 28th Street and Greenway Parkway, where a man and woman were reportedly in their home when two men and two women entered, armed with two handguns. The intruders entered to "collect a debt", police say.

Police say 21-year-old Michelle Adams was arrested and booked into jail facing three counts of armed robbery, kidnapping and one count of first degree burglary after admitting her involvement; three suspects are still being sought in connection to the crime. 

The woman, 25-year-old Amber Burros, was reportedly taken in her own vehicle by the suspects. She safely showed back up at her home early Friday afternoon, but the circumstances were not clear.

Police said the woman told them she was blind folded, held at gun point, and found herself in an unknown room.  She was able to escape, and contact family.  A family member picked her up and drove her home, and she contacted police to let them know she was okay.

Police are looking for two Hispanic males, between the ages of 30-35. One weights about 170 pounds while the other weighs about 240 pounds. One has a close crew-cut and was wearing a blue short sleeve shirt, and jeans. The other is shaved bald and was wearing a gray short sleeved shirt and jeans.

Both men were armed with black semi-automatic handguns.

The fourth suspect is a Hispanic woman between 35-40 years old, weighs about 130 pounds, has brown hair and brown eyes with "lots of eye makeup".

Burros' car, which was missing, was later located. 

Police said they later learned there was a third victim inside the apartment at the time of the crime, although additional details on the third victim are not available at the moment. 

On Friday evening, police received tips that led them to an apartment where they found Adams.
