A gang of thieves posing as cops were caught on video barging into the suburban Chicago home of an elderly woman before stealing her medication, and money for a month's worth of groceries and utilities. 

Homeowner Ann Robertson, 91, reported Saturday that a man came to the door and told her he was an officer before pushing her aside. Then two other men, claiming to be undercover cops, also entered the home. 

The men still are at large. 

Robertson, who lives with her husband and daughter, caught the men stuffing their pockets with her possessions.

'My grocery money, my prescription money, my gas money, my utilities money – I had enough money for a whole month,' Robertson told CBS2. 

'I was flabbergasted. Everything was gone.'
