Early this morning, Iberia Parish Sheriff's deputies were called to the 200 block of Live Oak Road to respond to an elderly man's claim that he woke up to two men standing over him as he slept.  The man says the two suspects demanded money from him, and when he told them he did not have any, they hit him several times on the head with a blunt object.

The victim says the suspects then fled from his home.  The victim needed medical care and was transported to a local hospital.  The suspect were able to steal an undisclosed amount of money from the man's home.

Iberia Parish detectives says they are working on getting more information about the suspects and their descriptions.  Anyone with information is urged to call the Iberia Sheriff's Office at 369-3711.
