"We believe we have a follow-home robbery, where a suspect followed the victim to her residence and when she was at the front door, proceeded to ask her for some directions or disturb her in some way, was able to get into the house and remove some of her property," said Capt. Brian Johnson with the Los Angeles Police Department.
The woman was taken to a hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
Authorities said it's believed the suspect is also responsible for other similar robberies around Los Angeles.
