BROOKHAVEN, Pa. (AP) – Police say a man left his 1-year-old daughter home alone while he tried to break into neighbors’ houses in a Philadelphia suburb.
Authorities say it happened Wednesday morning in Brookhaven. They say 20-year-old Arthur Langley was arrested after a resident called 911 to report a suspicious person.
The Delaware County Times reports (

Police went to his house and found the girl in a child seat watching television. Police called the girl’s mother to come pick her up.
Langley is being held on $100,000 bail on charges including attempted burglary and endangering the welfare of a child. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney.
