Police are searching for the suspect wanted in at least five cases in Raleigh, Cary, and Fuquay-Varina.
One of the victims told ABC11 the suspect pushed his way into her home after following her from a nearby Food Lion. The incident happened the night of Aug. 20 and all for $30.
"He pushed his way in the kitchen. I don't want to be reminded of it. It's really a painful thing to have happened to you," the 95-year-old victim said. "I thought it was easier to give him the money because I had $30 in the desk. And I thought that would get rid of him."
Police believe the same man is behind the similar cases in Wake County. In some cases the suspect was armed with a knife or similar weapon.
The victim ABC11 spoke to was physically unharmed.
"I never felt insecure in the past, but I'll keep the chain across the door all the time and never go out in the car port ever," the victim said.
