A resident of Mountford Way heard a noise at his front door in the early hours on Sunday.

When he came downstairs, he saw a man in a hooded top looking through his letterbox. When the man realised he had been spotted, he fled on foot.

The man is described as being in his 20s, with light coloured hair and wearing dark clothing. He had a slim build.

Four police patrols were sent to the area in an effort to find the man, but nobody could be seen in the area.

Now officers are asking for witnesses with information to come forward.

Anybody with details of the man should call police on 101 citing incident number 0124S 111118.
