Caught on Camera: Suspect Hops on SEPTA Train After Main Line Heist

A burglar hopped onto a SEPTA train after being interrupted during a heist at a Main Line home last week.

The unidentified burglar came face to face with a Rosemont, Pennsylvania homeowner last Friday inside her Hawthorne Road home.

As the woman returned home around 11 a.m. she saw a man in dark clothing and a baseball cap in her home, said police. The man told the woman not to move but she managed to run out the front door and call 911 from a neighbor’s home.

Neighbors later saw the man leave the home with a blue suitcase full of jewelry, electronics and cash and head toward SEPTA’s Norristown High Speed Line.

SEPTA investigators later found video of the man riding the train toward the 69th Street Terminal. He got off at the Parkview Station in Upper Darby, said police.

Witnesses told police that they saw the same guy casing the neighborhood shortly before the break-in where the man smashed out a front door window.

Radnor Township offered a $2,500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
