TWO men with skin colour tights over their faces are said to have climbed into a woman's bedroom while she slept and threatened to stab her if she didn't tell them where the drugs were, before realising they were in the wrong house.

Lauren Nicola Scarr says she was in bed at her home in Beech Close, Falmouth last Tuesday when she was woken by two men climbing in through her bedroom window. She said one man was already standing over her when she woke while the other man was climbing through the window.

Posting on Facebook about her scare, Lauren said: "I thought it was someone I knew at first then I saw they had skin colour tights over their faces and I thought the worst. But one stood over me whilst the other was on the other side of the bed with some sort of weapon in his hands. I’m unsure if the one stood over me had any weapons as he was too close.

"After threatening to stab me and shouting at me to tell them where the drugs are, they finally listened to me and realised they had the wrong house. They took my phone so I couldn’t call anyone. But the police actually found my phone after by my door."

She said both men were the same height (between 5’6-5’8 tall and of slim build between 19-25. They were wearing black tracksuits and both had local accents.

"One was definitely fair haired as his eyebrows were not dark," said Lauren. "Someone must of heard something.

"What happened to me is not OK and I don’t want them to just get away with it. I’m paranoid to sleep in my own home, my mind is consumed with thoughts of who it could be.

"All I can see is that man climbing through my window and it’s driving me mad!"
