The defendant allegedly entered the basement of a Green Street home in July
A woman accused of illegally entering a basement on Green Street in Lansdale over the summer heads to Montgomery County court to answer to charges of felony criminal trespassing, misdemeanor defiant trespassing of a fenced property, misdemeanor loitering and prowling at night, and misdemeanor disorderly conduct by creating a hazardous situation, according to charging documents.
Lansdale Police said officers were called at 8:57 p.m. July 31, 2025, to a home on the 300 block of Green Street for a reported break-in. The homeowner told police that a woman — later identified as Pitchford — had come to the front door earlier asking for someone named “Adam,” left without explanation, and was later found in the basement, police said.
Police said the fenced property’s basement can only be accessed from inside the house or via a gated exterior entrance.
Pitchford was detained nearby and identified by the homeowner as the intruder. She was taken into custody at 9:22 p.m.
Pitchford is free on $25,000 unsecured bond and will be arraigned on charges Dec. 10.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
