Serial burglary suspect arrested: A Bridgeville man who police say has a bad heroin addiction faces a long list of charges after investigators said he broke into at least 13 cars and two homes over a four-month period. Police said 22-year-old Nathan Weydener is suspected of going into the unlocked cars and homes and stealing items from inside. He was arrested Dec. 4 after a witness identified him prowling in the backyard of a Chess Street home on Nov. 28, police Chief Chad King said. “It looks like he was targeting Bridgeville,” King said. “Whether he was reaching out to other communities, we don’t know.

He faces charges of theft, burglary, theft from a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property, trespassing, criminal mischief, access device fraud, forgery, prowling and illegal possession of a firearm.
