A group of people pretending to sell candy held an elderly woman at gunpoint as they ransacked her home Tuesday in south suburban Oak Lawn, according to police.
The homeowner answered a ring at her doorbell and was met by a woman wearing what appeared to be an orange or red coat"posing as if she was selling candy," Oak Lawn police said in a release.
At that time, a man wearing a white T-shirt over a blue hoodie armed with a handgun forced his way into her home, knocking her to the ground, authorities said. As she was held on the ground at gunpoint, a second man entered the home and the three people began ransacking it.
