Police looking for two men accused of break-in

Police are searching for two men who allegedly broke into a Geelong police member’s home while she slept.

The Geelong Police Eyewatch Facebook this week said the off-duty member was in bed when she heard her doorbell ring at 9.19pm on February 2.

“The victim’s doorbell has a motion sensor that activates a camera,” police said.

“The victim viewed her doorbell camera via her phone and observed an unknown young male standing at her front door.

“The victim then heard loud noises coming from the rear of her house.”

Police said the woman grabbed a baseball bat and walked into her living room, where she found another man inside, near the back door, and an open kitchen window.

Police said the woman screamed at the man and he fled the house through the back door.

She followed him into the back yard and saw him jump over the back fence and run away.

Police have release a composite image of the man they are looking for.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
