A PENSIONER was left in shock after discovering a masked man in her kitchen.
The shocking burglary happened at a home on Bryn Awelon in Buckley at about 9pm on Sunday.
The woman in her 60s, who does not want to be named, has been left shaken following the horrifying incident.
Her son, 36, says he feels sick to the pit of his stomach when he thinks about what might have happened.
“She seems to be dealing with it, but I think she is still shook up,” he said. “It was a terrifying incident.
“She came down and found a man wearing a balaclava in the kitchen.
“He told her to come outside, saying ‘I have got something to show you’.
“She just slammed the door shut and locked it. He had broken the lock on the window to get in.”
The burglar then fled the property empty-handed.
Footage of three men getting out of a car and then approaching the property was caught on a neighbour’s home security
camera – which had yesterday been viewed on Facebook more than 16,000 times.
