FRANKLIN (WITI) -- Franklin police are seeking a suspect in connection with a home invasion involving an 83-year-old victim.

It happened Monday, January 26th just after 3 a.m. near 117th and Oakwood Road.

Police say a male suspect, between the ages of 20 and 29 entered the 83-year-old victim's home -- demanding money, prescription medication and alcohol. The suspect ransacked the home, police say -- pushing the victim down several times when he did not get what he wanted.

The 83-year-old victim was able to drive herself to the police department, where she reported the incident.

The suspect is described as tall and thin with brown hair.
