Chilling moment intruder inspects naked woman with his torch as she slept next to her partner in Marbella home as brave victim who released video describes ‘recurring nightmares’
This is the chilling moment a home intruder repeatedly inspected a woman as she slept naked in her Costa del Sol home.

Homeowners Pilar and Alex found that they had been burgled after 300 euros went missing from their home in Marbella on June 2.

But while the couple reviewed their CCTV, they made an even more disturbing discovery after footage showed how a masked thief stood over their bed as they slept.
In the sinister clip, which was released by the couple, the burglar was seen returning multiple times to the couple’s room throughout a 32 minute period.

But the thief appeared to fixate on Pilar, with the video showing him repeatedly flashing his torch over Pilar’s body.

‘He entered our bedroom eight times to look at my private parts’, she told local media after deciding to release the footage in the hope of catching the ‘sick predator’.

Local police are now investigating the case and are analysing the security footage to identify the suspect, but no arrests have been made yet.

The thief is said to have taken 300 euros from the couple’s home, but did not steal any other valuables, leading Pilar to believe that his intentions were not to rob the couple’s home, but rather to prey on her as she slept.

Pilar’s 18-year-old son was also sleeping in the room next door at the time of the incident.
‘That man didn’t come to my house to steal, he came to do something to me’, she told local media.

‘I was alone the night before. What if he’d come then?’.

Her partner Alex expressed how Pilar ‘felt violated’ and called the thief a ‘sick predator’.

Pilar has also told of how the terrifying ordeal has affected her psychologically, and described how she now suffers from recurring nightmares and has to sleep with all of her doors and windows closed.

She is also undergoing psychological treatment to cope with the trauma she has suffered, she said.

It is believed he entered the house through a terrace door.

The horrifying incident in the Spanish city comes as residents have been warned to beef up their security systems after falling prey to a ‘terrifying’ burglar who remains at large.
Chilling footage shows the moment a man in a mask and a grey hoodie breaks into a series of villas between San Pedro de Alcantara in Marbella and Benahavis.

The brazen thief, dubbed the San Pedro Prowler, is seen picking locks with a sharp implement, which locals said he could use as ‘a weapon if he needs it to be’.

The menacing figure then calmly walks off with his hands filled with goods, including luxury handbags and jewellery.

Among the recent stolen items include €10,000 in cash and a €30,000 watch.

The robber appears to be wearing no shoes and just have socks on during his raids, seemingly to avoid alerting anyone inside the house to his presence.

Neighbourhoods he has targeted include Guadalmina, and La Quinta, in upmarket Benahavis.

British holidaymakers may find their getaways thrown into chaos amid a summer of planned strike action at popular Spanish destinations.
Workers in the Balearic Islands’ hospitality industry have threatened to strike on July 10 following a breakdown in pay negotiations. The majority of those employed in the sector on the islands, 180,000 workers in hotels, restaurants, and other tourist destinations, are scheduled to go on strike. It comes amid a wave of other industrial action as well as protests against over-tourism across Spain.
The unions’ demand for a 17% pay increase is the main sticking point in negotiations. Workers have been offered a salary increase of 8.5% thus far. The latest announcement of strike action comes despite an eleventh-hour deal reached with hotel workers to avoid a walkout in four of the Canary Islands including Tenerife.
Further strikes in Majorca, Ibiza and Formentera will affect all bars, restaurants, cafes and night spots may go ahead on July 18, 19, 25 and 31.
The UGT union is also demanding several other reforms to working practices, including a 35-hour working week and to increase the duration of seasonal fixed-term contracts from six to nine months a year.
UGT spokesperson Jose Garcia Relucio branded concessions made at Thursday’s talks as ‘more crumbs’, MailOnline reported.
The union said that despite entering the negotiations to improve conditions for workers, the meeting had ended with several agreed reforms rolled back.

However the Majorca Hotel Business Federation blamed UGT for a creating a poor negotiating environment and failing to listen to its reasons for not meeting its demands.
“We have reached a point where, despite the fact we have been willing to address the issue of guaranteed employment for fixed-term contracts, they have not listened to our reasons for not raising the proposed [salary] increase,” stated Mara José Aguiló, the organization’s vice president. Holidaymakers have already been disrupted this week after EasyJet cabin crew in Spain went on strike from Wednesday, impacting dozens of flights to popular destinations including Malaga, Barcelona and Alicante.
On Thursday, the second day of operation, the airline canceled 62 flights to and from Spain. If the USO union’s demands for its members to receive wages comparable to those of EasyJet employees in other nations are not met, the union has not ruled out a subsequent indefinite strike. Concerns over unsustainable tourism in popular vacation spots prompted thousands of Brits to march across Spain earlier this month to urge them to “go home.” A demonstration in Palma de Majorca saw protesters carry placards in front of beleaguered tourists reading: ‘Mallorca is not your cash cow… go home’ and ‘your holidays, our anxiety’.
