"It’s a new neighborhood. A lot of families with kids and some retired folks live in here" said Tony Victor.
Police in Bucks County are looking for this man seen in doorbell surveillance video in connection with a rash of burglaries across various townships.
Victor lives a few doors down from the latest burglary on the 3800 block of Parkside Drive in the Estates of Mill Creek Ridge, in Buckingham Township. Less than two miles away, on the 3800 block of Green Ridge Road in the Furlong section of Buckingham Township, another burglary took place.
Police say all of the break-in's happened at night, with no homeowners about, or lights on inside. The thieves broke into the houses through a rear slider or window.
Investigators believe at least nine burglaries are connected. The suspects wore masks and gloves and were seen leaving in a dark-colored SUV and a white SUV, possibly with out of state registration.

Residents tell us they’re more surprised than concerned.
"It’s unusual that it’s happening here. Like, why this development? We’re kind of off the beaten track. You’d think they’d want to be in more populated areas, but then again they can get in and out of here without getting noticed," Victor added.
Police are asking anyone who lives in the neighborhoods to check their doorbell cameras. Investigators are looking for the make, model or license plate of the vehicles. Anyone with any information on the burglaries are urged to call Detective Bernard Schaffer of the Warrington Township Police at 215-343-3311, extension 222.
