FRANKLIN, Ind. -- An elderly couple was confined and robbed with their own guns Monday night.
Officers with the Franklin Police Department were called to a house in the 100 block of Lancelot Drive around 6:30 p.m. to investigate a burglary.
The couple had left their home to run an errand, but once they returned a short time later, they saw a man with a ski mask inside their home.
Police learned the suspect, Reese Keith, had held the homeowners at gunpoint with the weapons he stole from the house.

"I keep a vigilant eye," said Ranch Wuertz, who lives next door. "I have two daughters in my home and if anybody looks at my house for an extra second. I pay attention to it."
Police say the suspect stole three guns and left in the victim's silver 2011 Nissan Altima. The car has since been recovered.
