Man Arrested In Warminster Home Burglary

WARMINSTER, PA — A Philadelphia man is under arrest after police say he was caught burglarizing a home in Warminster last week.

Warminster Township Police were called at 5:48 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, to a home on Bristol Road. Officers arrived and spoke to a woman who said she came home to find a man standing insider her house, holding several of her personal belongings.

When confronted, the man ran away, according to police.

A description of the man and his vehicle was shared with police in the area and, moments later, Nicholas Anthony Wilson, 39, of Philadelphia, was stopped by officers.

The woman later identified Wilson as the man who was in her home, police said. He was arrested and charged with burglary, criminal trespass, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property.

Wilson was arraigned on those charges in front of District Justice Dan Finnello and is being held in Bucks County Prison in lieu of 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
