A bar owner says she's much more cautious after being robbed and kidnapped at her business.

Maria has owned the bar at 700 North Lewis for two years and never had any problems. She says she suspected trouble when three men came in Wednesday night and ordered beers and acted strangely.

Her fears were realized when the men pulled out guns, pointed them at her and demanded money from the cash register. Through an interpreter, she has a warning for others. "She said to be careful and aware of your surroundings and not to think it can't happen to you."

The men took Maria with them when they left her bar, but, dropped her off about four blocks away. They're accused of shooting a man at another bar.

Tulsa Police arrested the three men and recovered a gun and the cashbox from Maria's bar.
