series of incidents.

Around 11 p.m. on Thursday two women were watching TV in their home on Rose Hill, Southampton, when they heard footsteps in the hallway. On checking they saw a man run into a bedroom, jump over the bed and disappear through a window. Nothing was stolen.

About half an hour later a man living on the railway trail in Southampton heard his dog barking and spotted a man tampering with his car. The prowler ran off along the trail.

A woman in Pomander Gate Road, Paget, heard a prowler walking around her home at 2 a.m. on Thursday. He twice tried the door handle before leaving empty-handed.
