ALLEN TOWNSHIP, P.A. (KYW Newsradio) — Pennsylvania State Police are looking for a person who they believe stole $20,000 worth of high-end watches from a home in Northampton County last Friday.

Troop M, which covers Bucks, Lehigh, and Northampton counties, released blurry pictures Wednesday of a person wearing a ski mask that they say fled a house in Allen Township at 203 Windsor Drive. The photos also included a vehicle, possibly a pickup truck, that the suspect used to get away from the scene.

Police said just after 6 p.m. on Dec. 19, the suspect entered the house through a sliding back door. The residents later came home to find the door forced open.

That's when state police got the call about the suspected burglary.

Authorities said the only things taken from the home were five high-end, luxury watches, worth upwards of $20,000.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the state police in Bethlehem.
