A mother found a stranger hiding in her baby's bedroom after hearing suspicious noises on the baby monitor at her home in Wold Road, west Hull. The woman heard a strange noise on the baby monitor and went to investigate. When she went into the room, she discovered the woman hiding in the room.
The Mail understands the stranger sneaked into the house through an open window or door before she was discovered. The mother had been at home with two other people earlier in the night but they had left, locking the doors as they went, not realising they were locking the mother and baby inside the house with the stranger.
Later on, at about 7.55pm on Tuesday, the mother went upstairs after hearing the noise on the monitor placed in her baby's room to discover the stranger hiding in the shadows. The stranger then demanded the house keys from the woman before using them to flee out of the back door of the house.
No one was hurt and nothing was stolen, but police are investigating the matter and treating it as an attempted burglary. Anyone who knows about the intrusion, or saw anything suspicious in Wold Road at the time, is urged to call Humberside Police on 101, quoting log 681 of September 24.
