Detectives investigating an attempted burglary in Dovercourt are appealing for witnesses.
During the early hours of Tuesday, September 29, the victim was woken by noise outside and could see a torchlight shining in the windows.
The occupant turned on the lights, which deterred the person outside and no entry was gained to the property.
The attempted raid took place in Manor Road, Dovercourt.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "We're keen to speak to anyone who witnessed or has any information about the incident.
"Please reference incident 42/157408/20 when providing information to make sure it gets to the right officer as soon as possible."
Anyone with information can call 101.
