[VIDEO] Woman Watches In Horror As Security Guard Breaks Into Her Home To Look For Her
The CCTV footage shows the man wandering around the house, taking off his pants, and even messaging the house owner on WhatsApp to ask her whereabouts.
A woman in Johor had the shock of her life when she discovered via a home surveillance app that a security guard working in her neighbourhood had broken into her house
Facebook user Yuyun Nissa shared that she was on her way home from dinner on 10 February when she noticed her phone kept buzzing with notifications from her home surveillance app.
"Motion detected," it kept saying.
It was 12.14am when she opened the app that shows live footage from a closed-circuit television (CCTV) in her house and was stunned when she saw a man in her living room.
"The man seemed familiar," Yuyun wrote in the post.
"When I saw the shirt he was wearing, I thought, 'Oh, no!' I know him. This is the security guard who works in my housing area."

The security guard also kept going up and down the stairs, sat on the sofa, and charged his phone at some point.
Yuyun, who works as an insurance agent, wrote that his motive was not to steal, but to find her with, what seemed like, bad intentions.
She said he also tried calling her on WhatsApp when she didn't respond to his messages.
The mother of three immediately contacted her sister and brother-in-law who live nearby to inspect her home
Upon their arrival, the intruder had already fled. In his haste, however, he left behind his work shirt.
Although the man escaped and the experience was such a frightening one, Yuyun was thankful that she and her children were safe.
"Oh God, the feeling of absolute fear is all there. I can't imagine what would happen if I was at home with the children."
Following the incident, a police report was lodged and the suspect was arrested the next day
An investigation is still underway but, according to Yuyun, the police said the security guard has past criminal records involving drugs.
She goes on to thank the Johor police for being efficient and apprehending the suspect so quickly.
"I'm so thankful that nothing happened. I just want to remind you that even if you are living in a housing area with security guards, it does not guarantee your safety. Always be alert and careful."
