The guard spotted the prowler early yesterday as he patrolled the grounds of a Paget guest house. He gave chase but the intruder escaped.

Around the same time, a woman living on Tribe Road No. 5 in Paget heard someone on her porch.

Detectives are also investigating a report of a prowler seen crouching outside a window on Redkiln Road, Hamilton Parish on Monday night. He ran off when the occupant shouted out.
