HERSCHER, Ill. -- Police in the Kankakee County town of Herscher say they are looking for someone who might be described as a home-invading Christmas elf.

Herscher police chief Rick Gilbert said a local woman and her children left for a brief weekend trip Saturday afternoon. Gilbert said that when they returned on Monday morning they found that someone had entered their house and decorated it for the holidays with a host of ornaments and Christmas lights.

Nothing was reported stolen from the home.
