CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Coral Springs police are searching for a man who was captured on surveillance video forcing his way inside a home.
The home invasion occurred around 9 p.m. Monday in the 8400 block of Northwest 27th Drive.
Surveillance video released Tuesday shows the man knocking on the front door of an elderly woman’s home.
When she answered the door, he forced his way inside, authorities said.
The woman, who did not want to speak on camera, told Local 10 News’ Christian De La Rosa that she thought it was just a neighbor.
Police said there was a physical struggle before the man ran away, heading east on Northwest 27th Street.
The victim said she fell and hit the floor after the man forced his way inside. She said he started running around the house saying he wanted her car keys, but he never found them.
The woman said she was screaming for help and moments later, the man just left.
Anyone with information about the man’s identity is asked to call Detective Frank Randazzo at (954)346-1262 or email him at frandazzo@coralsprings.org.
