Casper police officers are trying to find the man suspected of robbing an elderly woman inside her home Monday evening.

The robbery was reported in the 800 block of E. 3rd St. Officers responded to the call at 7:15 p.m.

The victim, who lives alone, told police that a man broke into her home, pushed her to the ground and stole several items, according to a news release from police spokeswoman Rebekah Ladd.

The victim suffered minor injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening.
