Forest Park police hope a sketch released Friday will help them find one of the armed men who broke into a Burks Road home, forced an elderly couple and their grandson into a bedroom and got away with their belongings.

No one was injured in Monday’s home invasion, but two armed men stole electronics, jewelry and video equipment from the residence, police said in a statement.

The GBI completed a sketch of one of the suspects, and police distributed it Friday. Anyone who thinks they recognize the person in the sketch is asked to contact the Forest Park Police Department at 404-366-4141.
