Pennsylvania man matches with woman on dating app and meets her once. Then he told police things started moving around in his house

A Pennsylvania woman faces multiple criminal charges after authorities said she repeatedly targeted a man she met through the dating app Match, culminating in an alleged break-in at his Bucks County home, where investigators say she was caught in the act. According to police, the man later reported that strange activity inside his home had been happening for weeks before the arrest.

According to NBC Philadelphia, Falls Township police identified the defendant as Lindsay Harris, 30, of Lower Gwynedd, Montgomery County. Investigators allege Harris met the man through Match in January 2026. The man told police they met in person only once before he decided not to continue the relationship. According to the criminal complaint, he never invited Harris to his home and never provided her with his address.

Police said the case came to light in late June after the homeowner called 911 to report that an unwanted person had entered his residence in Fairless Hills. Falls Township Police Chief Nelson Whitney told NBC Philadelphia that responding officers found Harris attempting to crawl through a rear window and took her into custody.

The man reported items moved inside his home

The homeowner, who spoke to NBC Philadelphia without revealing his identity, said he had noticed items inside his home had been moved or rearranged for weeks before the incident. He said belongings appeared out of place, leading him to suspect someone had entered the house before the night of the reported break-in. He also reiterated that he had never shared his home address with Harris.

According to police, the man arrived home on the night of the incident and discovered an open bottle of red wine and Italian water ice inside the residence. Court documents state he also noticed a bedroom light had been turned on. As he walked through the house, he allegedly saw Harris outside a sliding glass door and immediately contacted 911. Officers arrived as Harris allegedly tried to climb through an open rear window.

Investigators said Harris continued contacting the man after he told her he did not want to pursue a relationship. Police allege she showed up at his residence uninvited before the reported break-in, despite being instructed to stop contacting him.

Harris was arraigned on charges including burglary, criminal trespass, stalking, and related offenses. She posted 10% of the $50,000 bail and was released from custody the following day pending further court proceedings.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 21, 2026. As of July 13, the charges remain pending, and no conviction has been entered, according to the Lower Bucks Source.
