This may be mind bending but if all clues are true it breaks clue one,three, and four. If all clues are false it can't be the fifth or third house. Therefore there just isn't enough information.

"The second clue says they went into the third house,the third rule says "The first clue is false",then the fourth clue says "the robbers went to the fifth house"." Shouldn't it be "The second clue says they went into the third house,the third clue says "The first clue is false",then the fourth clue says "the robbers went to the fifth house"."?

The mistake is clue.
