Main Line Home Invaded By Nightmarish Suspect In Halloween Mask: Cops

A man wearing a Halloween mask entered a home in the Wayne section of Tredyffrin Township early Saturday morning, bound the resident to her bed with duct tape and then ransacked the home, according to police.

The incident occurred around 1 a.m. Saturday, March 12 on the 100 block of Crestline Road.

The woman told Tredyffrin Township Police she awoke to a man in a Halloween mask with a bulbous nose standing at the foot of her bed.

“Be quiet and you won’t be hurt," the man told her, before binding her with duct tape, according to police.

He then ransacked the residence and made off with the woman's Wells Fargo ATM card and her vehicle keys, police said.

The suspect, described as being about 5'10 tall, 180 pounds, with broad shoulders, showed a stun gun type of electronic restraint, with which he threatened the victim to procure her ATM card number.

He also stole jewelry and a radio before leaving the home in the victim's car, police said. He drove to the Devon Square Shopping Center Wells Fargo ATM, where the above image was captured.

The victim managed to get free after the suspect left and called 911. The victim's vehicle was later found at the Strafford Train Station.

The suspect remains on the run, police said.

Anyone with further information regarding this crime is asked to contact the Detective Michael Carsello at 610 644-3221. Submitted tips can remain anonymous.
