A woman arrived home to find a "scumbag" burglar hiding in her child's bedroom.
After finding 50-year-old Alan Terence Cotton in her home, the woman then started filming as she chased him out of the property and then out of the grounds too.
At one point in the clip, Cotton stops to mumble: “Sorry, I’ve had a couple of cans and gone the wrong way.”

He also turns at times to face the camera, before walking at pace from the grounds as the woman tells him to show her what’s in the carrier bag he’s clutching.
She says: “Get out of this house now. Turn round while I film your face, you little scumbag.
“What’s in that bag? What’s in that bag? Well show me, show me, show me.”
After shouting for someone to call the police, she added: “You were hiding in a bedroom, a child’s bedroom.
“You were hiding in a child’s bedroom. You were warned to get off this property yesterday.”
The incident took place at a house on Hobb Lane in Moore near Runcorn on Saturday, July 17.
Cotton, of Fallowfield, Runcorn, pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary on Monday, August 16 at Chester Crown Court, where he was jailed for seven years and six months for the offence.
Details of the charge included stealing a watch and being in possession of two weapons, namely knives, at the time of the offence.
An order was made for the knives to be destroyed.
Cheshire Police reported at the time that officers were called to reports of a man in the address shortly after 1pm, but the suspect had left the scene when they arrived.
Officers arrested Cotton the following day and he was taken into custody.
