Frightening CCTV footage shows the moment a man scoped out a Glasgow home in the dark of night.
The creepy video shared online shows the incident, which took place in the Southpark Village estate in Glasgow's Darnley area on Wednesday night, the Daily Record reports.
In the video footage, which was shared by a neighbour on Facebook, the individual can be seen searching the back garden of the home, possibly looking for a key.
The man checks near the garden furniture, under the door mat and under what appears to be a plant pot or delivery box by the back door.

He is wearing a black jacket, green or khaki trousers, grey trainers as well as grey and blue gloves at the time.
However, after being unsuccessful in his search, he goes out of shot and can be heard driving away towards the end of the short clip.
The shocking footage was posted on Facebook in the hours after the prowler scoped out the house.
It comes after a 86-year-old man was threatened and robbed of jewellery by three men in his home on the same estate in May.
He was uninjured but left badly shaken as a result of the attack.
Police Scotland were contacted for comment.
Officers advise not leaving keys on the inside of door locks, under mats or anywhere else that they can be easily found.
