A Pennsylvania woman was apprehended by police in late June while attempting to break into the home of an ex-boyfriend she met on a dating app, according to authorities. The man reported that for weeks leading up to the incident, he had noticed items inside his home were mysteriously rearranged, suggesting a pattern of unauthorized entries.
Falls Township Police Chief Nelson Whitney stated that officers responded to a call about a woman breaking into a residence. Upon arrival, they observed the 30-year-old woman, identified as Lindsay Harris, crawling through a window into the home. She was found to be carrying a bottle of red wine and Italian water ice, which police believe she intended for a romantic encounter.
The victim told NBC Philadelphia that he had not provided Harris with his address during their brief relationship, which began in January. After the man decided to end the relationship, Harris allegedly became obsessive. Police confirmed that the victim had reported numerous items out of place in his home over several weeks, which he suspected were due to Harris's previous visits.
Harris was taken into custody and subsequently charged with stalking, trespassing, and harassment.
