SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- A Scranton man was arrested in Central Court Wednesday morning while he was waiting to be called for his preliminary hearing on burglary charges.

38-year-old Saul Langan, Jr. was arrested last week on burglary charges stemming from break ins in Scranton and Scott Township. An additional burglary charge was filed against him by Dickson City Police at the courthouse.

Police say Langan is the man some have called 'the Hunter Burglar." They say he stocked houses in neighborhoods throughout the county, knocking on doors to see if anyone was home.

If someone answered police say Langan told them he was a hunter looking for his dog. They say he broke into homes in Scott Township, Dickson City and Scranton when he found no one inside.

The latest charges, from Dickson City, involve a burglary at a home in the community's Bell Mountain neighborhood. Police say Langan's car was seen driving away from a home that had just been burglarized. The home owner said that money, jewelry, and a hand gun were taken with a total value over $7,000.

Police are also investigating to see if Langan might be tied to other daylight burglaries reported in both Lackawanna and Wayne Counties. Langan is being held at the Lackawanna County Prison.
