Lancaster County man Justin Schwanke, 27, has been arrested and charged for allegedly breaking into Amish homes and fondling young girls.
"He was strange. Everybody was looking out for him," said Ron Bills of Caernarvon Township.
Ron Bills lives near one of the victims that was targeted on Narvon Road in Caernarvon Township.
There police say a 14-year-old girl woke up in the middle of the night to a man touching her.
But, she was not the only one.
Police in East Earl Township were also investigating a similar report involving a young Amish girl on Weaverland Valley Road.
"It is scary. It is a scary thing. I have got kids myself. I lock my doors. But we live in the country here, it is not something I expect every day," said Sam Ebersol of New Holland.
Although the man fled, police were able to lift numerous fingerprints from the scene and positively identify Justin Schwanke as the suspect.
Residents are now breathing a sigh of relief that this man is behind bars.
"It is great. It is great they caught him," said Ebersol.
"I am glad. Everybody is glad that he was caught though, for what was going on. It is a good thing," said Bills.
Schwanke is charged with burglary, indecent assault, criminal trespassing, loitering and prowling at night and harassment. He is being held on $50,000 bail.
