A Melbourne woman, Flora Socratous, faced a frightening ordeal when she encountered a masked intruder in her Windsor home early on January 6.
According to 9News, Socratous was awakened around 6am by a noise and she discovered the burglar in her kitchen. She recorded the incident, later posting the video online.
“I was in shock, I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming,” Socratous told 9News. “He could have pulled out a weapon, he could have pulled out a kitchen knife.”
The footage shows her questioning the intruder, asking, “How did you get into my home?” and “What’s in your bag?”
The man attempted to exit through the front door but, finding it locked, fled by jumping through a window and climbing a fence.
“I don’t know what possessed me to take a photo or video footage of him, but I’m glad I did,” she added.
Police are investigating the incident, reporting that no one was harmed and nothing was stolen. The burglar is believed to have entered the property by breaking a window latch.
Authorities urge anyone with information to assist their enquiries.
