An elderly Holbeach couple were shocked to find an intruder in their bedroom after they were woken from their sleep.
The suspect got into the couple’s home in Netherfield after breaking in through a conservatory window before going into the bedroom and shining a torch.
Police said the incident happened at about 3.15am on Tuesday and a neighbour’s CCTV system showed two men acting suspiciously in the area an hour earlier.
Anyone with information should call DC Debra Charlesworth on 101, quoting incident number 26 of June 11.
