Corinna - A family in Corinna is hoping the community can help them get a creep off the streets.

Around 12:30 Thursday morning, Brianne Duley was awake, in her room, when she started hearing strange thudding noises.

The noises stopped and she didn't think anything of it, until a few hours later, when she started hearing noises outside again.

"Then I decided at like 2:25, I'm done with all the noises, so I went and woke up my dad and said I think someone's outside," Brianne commented.

To her father's shock, he saw someone standing on a ladder, looking into his daughter's second floor bedroom window.

"He then watched him jump down off the ladder into their yard, run across the street here and over to a dark pick-up truck that was parked facing their house."

The Penobscot County Sheriff's Department responded to the call.

They found the person had dragged cinderblocks from the yard and stacked them on a ramp under the window, and a ladder was propped on top of them.

A cigarette butt was left behind.

Deputies believe the person who did this most likely knew Brianne.

"We don't believe that this is a wide-spread prowler, per say, more so going to be somebody that they know."

The whole thing has left the Duley's pretty shaken up.

"Very scary. You don't want anything happening to your children. We do live in a small town and we feel that it's going to be our community that catches whoever did this."
