Police are carrying out investigations in Ecclefechan, Dumfries and Galloway, after a 94-year-old woman awoke to find an intruder in her home.

It happened at around 2.30pm yesterday in Castle Acre. The male, described as being tall and of slim build, left the property without taking anything.

It appears the house had been broken into.

Understandably the elderly woman was shaken by this incident and it seems that the male responsible was brazen enough to carry out this type of crime in broad daylight."
