Burglar in the bedroom

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

A 49-year-old woman has been woken by an intruder in her bedroom in her Dandenong home early on Sunday 24 February.

In waking, she appeared to startle the intruder, police say.

He fled out the laundry as she demanded him to leave her King Street home about 4am.

The victim’s 44-year-old brother was also home at the time of the aggravated burglary.

He later found that cash had been stolen from a bag next to his bed.

The intruder was described as African appearance, and did not appear to be armed with a weapon, police say.
