A COUPLE chased a burglar from their home after he snuck into their bedroom as they slept.

The man and woman in their 40s awoke at 1.40am Tuesday morning at their home in Horspath, to discover a burglar shining a torch into their room.

He fled after the pair challenged him - but not before he snatched keys to three vehicles that were parked on their drive.

Police appealed for information about the burglary in Manor Drive and asked anyone who saw anything unusal to call 101 quoting reference '43170082024'.
