THE MAN REPEATEDLY APPEARED TO TRY THE FRONT DOOR. 14:40, 30 May 2025Updated 14:52, 30 May 2025 A Scots family were left "shaken" after realising an unknown man had seemingly been
creeping around their property in the middle of the night. The disturbing incident is said to have taken place on Wednesday, May 28, at a home in Oxgangs, Edinburgh. One occupant said the
man first appeared at around 4am before returning just an hour later, and was caught on camera on both occasions. Alarming doorbell camera footage seen by our sister title Edinburgh Live
shows him approaching the door of the home in Firrhill Park from the darkened street. He can be seen appearing to repeatedly knock on the locked door. When unable to open it, he begins
kicking it, stumbling backwards before thumping on it with his hand again. The footage continues, showing him repeatedly trying the handle for around another minute. The resident claims the
man left after this, but returned at dawn where he seemingly accessed the property again. She said: "It was last night at 4am. He also came back at 5am and must have went over the fence
to the other garden. I felt shaken." JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today. You'll
