A dad-of-three said he was asleep with his three children when two men began prowling outside their home on Friday, April 3.
A family have been left shaken after two men were caught on camera prowling outside their home in North Berwick.
The frightening incident unfolded outside the property on Dall Hollow at around 2.30am on Friday, April 3.
Video footage, seen by Edinburgh Live, appeared to show two figures approaching the home, with one trying to gain access to the house.
A dad-of-three, who spoke anonymously, said his three young children were asleep inside the property when it was targeted.
He has been left fearing what might have happened if the crooks had entered his home.
He told our sister title: “It makes me sick to think if my front door had been open that they’d be in my house whilst me and my kids are asleep.
“I checked my camera not expecting to see anything. I was gobsmacked to see in that first video they tried my car door, house door and if you watch to the end you can see they got into my neighbours car when the tail lights go on.”
In the footage, one suspect can be seen unsuccessfully trying to gain access to the family’s car. He then tries to open the front door of the house before walking out of the camera’s frame.
Another individual is seen approaching a neighbour’s vehicle in the street. He gains access and the motor’s taillights illuminate red.
A second video shows the two dark figures returning about 30 minutes later, and attempt to break into the vehicle again before leaving.
