The moment that every parent’s worst nightmare came true has been caught on camera.

CCTV vision reveals an intruder breaking into a family’s suburban home in the dead of night to prey on their eight-year-old daughter as she sleeps in her loft bed.

Minutes later the young girl wakes to find the male stranger touching her arm and back and whispering to her. She tells him: “Stop it, you’re scaring me. Go away.”

He backs off at first but then climbs the ladder to her elevated bunk again to whisper in her ear.

Finally, he disappears into the dark as the girl’s mother is woken by the sound of her daughter’s voice.

She finds the girl distressed but thinks her disturbing story is just the result of a bad dream.

Until she looks at footage from their home’s new CCTV camera the next day.

And, horrified and sickened, immediately calls the cops. 

Sunrise correspondent Matt Tinney has the details.
