From Sandy Louey:
Sacramento police have released a composite sketch of a man believed to be involved in a South Land Park home invasion in which an elderly man was assaulted.
On Feb. 5, two men forced their way into the home of an elderly couple in the 4400 block of Mead Avenue, Sgt. Norm Leong said in news release.
One of the men struck the 88-year-old husband in the head with an object, causing moderate injuries. The couple were kept in a room for several hours while the men ransacked their home. The men got away with a small amount of cash, a handgun and other items, police said.
One suspect was described as a white man in his 30s with a medium build and short, neat blonde hair. He wore all black clothing, black gloves and black shoes with wraparound stitching on the top, authorities said.
Police said the second suspect was described as possibly a Latino man who was 6 feet tall and weighed 200 pounds. He had dark hair and wore a two-tone jacket and gloves.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP or 1-800-AA-CRIME. Callers can be anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
