Screaming OAP scares off late night intruder

A would-be thief fled after a 93-year-old woman scared him off by screaming.

The “smartly dressed” man broke in to the OAP’S home on Campsie Road, Perth, through a window at around 1am on Thursday.

After being woken by a noise, the woman saw the intruder and screamed.

He then ran off out of her house without taking anything.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “She was left pretty shaken up.”

The man is described as being white, aged in his early 20s, about 5ft 7in to 5ft 9in, of slim build, with dark hair.
