Search for Broadwater peeping burglar

It happened just before 7.15am on Sunday, March 22, at their home in Broadwater Road.

Sergeant Ian Kerr, from Worthing Police, said the husband "threw on a pair of jeans" and chased the man down the road, but eventually lost him in the Georgia Avenue area.

Sgt Kerr said the couple's daughter had her handbag stolen the night before, and said it was possible the intruder used her keys to get inside the house.

So far, it is thought the intruder stole a bottle of perfume.

The man is described as black, around 5ft 9in tall, aged between 14 and 19 and with afro hair about 2in thick.

He was wearing a grey bomber jacket, with a grey hoodie underneath, and light-coloured trousers.

Sgt Kerr asked for anyone with information about the incident, or who saw the bare-chested man chasing the intruder down the road, to call police on 0845 6070 999.
