Woman confronted by intruder in her bedroom

Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was confronted by an unknown man in her bedroom at a Maroochydore home on 18 October.

The 26-year-old woman had been asleep in her unit on School Road when she awoke to a man attempting to indecently assault her in her bed around 4am.

She immediately pushed him off and he fled from the residence.

The man is described as young, possibly aged in his teens, Caucasian with dark coloured hair that was short at the back and sides, around 188cm tall with a slim build.

The man was wearing only dark blue boyleg style underwear.

It is unknown how he gained entry to the unit, however possibly via an unlocked door.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or have dashcam vision in the vicinity of School Road at the time of the incident, before or after 4am, to come forward.
