Intruder 'will be covered in bruises' after he's caught in family garden at 4am

A mother was roused from her slumber at 4am by an alert from her video doorbell, which had captured a stranger stumbling in her garden.

Kellie Evans was asleep when her phone alerted her to the late-night motion outside. She first assumed it was one of her sons outside and promptly notified her husband Dominic, then dashed towards the front door.

However, her husband peeked out the window and identified that the person was a stranger. He yelled 'what are you doing?' at the intruder, who hastily fled the scene. Upon returning indoors, they analysed the recorded camera footage and were taken aback by what was evident on it.

The footage depicts a man clumsily manoeuvring around their front yard before taking a tumble, reports Wales Online.

Mrs Evans said: "We'd been out last night to an event - we never go out, got back home and went to sleep at about midnight. At around 4am, I was alerted to the Ring alert on my phone, and it turned out to be that guy.

"It was only when we got back in and locked all the doors again and watched the video back that I saw the extent to actually how funny it was. I thought 'What are the chances of catching that?

"I was laughing, and I've probably watched it 100 times today, and it is probably just as funny as when I watched it for the first time. You feel sorry for the man at the same time, as you think, 'Oh, that must have hurt'. You could see he had his phone out, and he seemed quite stumbly.

"I was thinking, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he wakes up and wonders: 'What the hell did I do last night? ' being covered in bruises, as clearly he will not remember himself. Without a Ring doorbell we would never have known that someone had been out and stumbling around in our garden."
