POLICE are keen to trace a sneak thief who entered a house in Morecambe and threatened the occupant.

On April 13 at around 9pm the hooded thief entered the house on Woodhill Lane through an unlocked door and was disturbed by the 53-year-old lady owner.

He demanded money and then pushed the woman causing her to bang her head against the door frame. Fearing for her safety, the woman handed over £50 in cash.

The attacker then left the scene. He was described as approximately 18-years-old, slim build with dark piercing eyes. He was wearing a dark, hooded fleece and white trainers.
