Terrifying moment intruder checks naked woman out with torch while she slept next to her partner

A woman has told of her terror after surveillance cameras captured an intruder breaking into her home and ogling her naked body as she slept.

Police have launched a probe into the chilling incident after Pilar and her partner Alex made the disturbing discovery while checking their security footage.

The couple, who live in Marbella, Spain, explained they have both been left terrified after watching the masked man waltz around their pad in the early hours of the morning.

The homeowners first suspected that they may have been burgled after realising that €300 (£259) had gone missing on 2 June, so decided to check their CCTV footage.

The pair were then left stunned after realising what the intruder got up to after rifling through Pilar's purse and entering the bedroom where they were sleeping.

The footage - which has been released by the couple in a bid to catch who they described as a 'sick predator' - shows the man wandering through their home and directly looking at one of the surveillance cameras.

He then creeps into their bedroom armed with a torch, which he then shines across Pilar's naked body as she slept.

Take a look at the footage here:

Throughout a 32-minute period, the burglar repeatedly leaves their bedroom and returns to inspect the sleeping woman's body.

According to Pilar and Alex, security cameras show him doing this on eight different occasions, before the intruder eventually left their home with the stolen cash.

The pair now believe that the culprit, who currently remains unidentified, had an ulterior motive for breaking into their home.

"That man didn't come to my house to steal, he came to do something to me," Pilar told local media, as per Cuatro Televisión.

"I was alone the night before. What if he'd come then? He entered our bedroom eight times to look at my private parts."

The mother-of-one explained that the thief did not take any other valuables from their home aside from the money, hence why she so strongly believes that he entered the property with a more sinister agenda.

Alex said his partner 'felt violated' after watching the security footage, while branding the intruder a 'sick predator'.

Explaining they were both exhausted after a trip to Germany where he had competed in a martial arts competition, Alex said: "I was fast asleep.

"He came in up to eight times to look at my wife. We have expensive things to steal, but as you can see in the images, he was more interested in her private parts than anything else."

Since the incident, which took place earlier this month, Pilar says she has been suffering from recurring nightmares and now sleeps with all of her doors and windows closed.

"I changed the side of the bed where I used to sleep," she added. "Now my partner sleeps next to the door and I sleep on the other side."

She is currently undergoing psychological treatment to help her cope with the trauma.

Her and Alex decided to release the footage in the hopes of it aiding the capture of the intruder, who remains at large.

Local police have launched an investigation and are analysing the CCTV footage, but no arrests have yet been made.
