A woman says she was left feeling fearful after her ring doorbell spotted a man hanging around outside her house.

Hannah Finney was at the park in Little Melton with her two kids when her phone notified her that someone was outside at her property in School Lane.

She said the footage showed a man dressed in dark clothing looking in windows and "pacing" around the door.

"It appeared that he entered the house because the camera didn't show him leaving at any point," Hannah said.

"I then sprinted home from the park with both my little children and left them standing on the driveway, thinking he was still inside.

"I went in to see if he was still there which I think was mother instinct because I should have called the police straight away."

Hannah did not find the man inside but said she was left badly shaken.

The following day while she was out she was horrified to receive another notification on her phone and claims that the man had returned.

She said he explored slightly further the second time, but he was not there when she returned home.

The police confirmed a man was seen acting suspiciously outside the property but there were no signs he entered the house or took anything from the garden.

"I barely slept for the next three or four days," Hannah added.

"I'm often home alone as my husband works away and I was frightened that he would return in the night and try to gain access while my little ones were sleeping."

Her children are three years old and 18 months old.

"We've since bought more than £600 in security equipment but it's a shame that we should have to spend that sum of money to make us feel safe and secure in our own home."
