Perkiomen Township resident Mary Khalil has repeatedly shared posts to social media showing video surveillance stills and footage of the individuals, both masked and unmasked. They appear to be teenagers.

"Kicked my door and terrorized our family," she wrote. "Came to my house again and again and kept escalating events...Someone knows something. My kids need to feel safe again. You did this to a kindergartener and 4th grader who had to see people with ski masks out of their windows over 4 times in one night alone as they come and try to kick open our door and yell from the woods."

A motive for the incidents remains unclear.
