According to Falls Township police, the friend of the family that lives in a home on Buttonwood Lane was sitting in the back living room watching television when he saw the curtain move and observed hands come through around 6 p.m. Saturday evening. The man immediately grabbed the strange set of arms in an attempt to hold the suspect, a police press release said.
