On July 12 the same woman was confronted by a man who was trying to climb through her upstairs bedroom window using a ladder. Police say the man became abusive, resulting in an altercation when she tried to stop him.

Sgt Scott Archer said: “We really need to speak to Leon Halsall about these incidents. If you have seen him, or know where he could be, please get in touch.

“Leon, if you see this appeal, please make contact.”
