This is the sickening moment a masked burglar flashes his torch to leer at a naked woman as she sleeps.
The intruder spent over half an hour inside the home in Costa del Sol, Spain, as he repeatedly returned to the bedroom to look over the unsuspecting victim, The Sun reported.
Disturbing CCTV footage, which can be watched in the player above, showed the man sneaking into residents Pilar and Alex's bedroom in Marbella.
The thief was seen creeping around in a tracksuit with his face covered as he looked to raid the couple as they were fast asleep.
At one point, he flashes his torch over the pair who were in bed – before focusing in on Pilar.
The woman was sleeping naked on her front with the majority of her body uncovered by the bedding.
In a particularly disturbing moment, the man can be seen bending over and moving closer to Pilar to shine the torch on her body further.
After watching back the sickening footage – which ran for 32 minutes – Pilar told local media: 'He entered our bedroom eight times to look at my private parts.'
The brave victim released the video shortly after taking it to the police, saying it was the only way to get justice and catch the 'sick predator'.
Pilar and Alex said they first knew something was wrong when they woke up to 300 Euro ($534) had been taken from their home.
Their valuables and expensive goods were all exactly where they left them, including those in their 18-year-old son's room next door.
This has led Pilar to fear that the man wasn't simply looking to burgle the home, but had much more sinister plans.
She said she was thankful that she had her partner with her, as he was in a similar position on the other side of their bed.
'That man didn't come to my house to steal, he came to do something to me,' she said.
'I was alone the night before. What if he'd come then?'
Pilar said the terrifying ordeal has left her traumatised and she now faces recurring nightmares when trying to sleep. She has even been forced to undergo psychological treatment to process the trauma.
Local police are investigating the case and analysing the footage but are yet to identify the suspect. They believe he likely entered the house through a terrace door.
Marbella is already on high alert for burglaries, with residents warned to bolster up their security systems as cops hunt for a thief in the area.
Chilling footage shows a man in a mask and grey hoodie breaking and entering into a series of villas between San Pedro de Alcantara in Marbella and Benahavis.
Dubbed the San Pedro Prowler, the man is regarded as an expert lock picker.
Among the recent stolen items include 10,000 ($17,810) Euro in cash and a 30,000 ($53,431) Euro watch.
