Terrified teenager came down from bath after hearing door open, to find strangers in her living room

A terrified teenager said she no longer feels safe in her own home after coming down from the bath to find two men in her living room.

Stephanie Jones, from Trimsaran , said her 18-year-old daughter Chelsea was at home on her own at around 3-4pm on Sunday while she had gone to visit her parents who live 10 minutes away.

Chelsea was having a bath when she heard a noise downstairs and went down in just a towel after thinking her mother had returned.

Miss Jones, aged 51, said: "Within 10 minutes of being in my parents' house two boys had entered our house and were in the living room.

"My daughter went ballistic and she was screaming 'get out of my house'. She came down in just a towel and there were boys in the property.

"When she said she was going to phone the police they went, but then they came back and were trying to get in, but she'd locked the doors.

"Me and my brother both called 999 and two police cars turned up. I came back and the two boys were off it, and one of them couldn't stand."

Miss Jones said her daughter had been left "traumatised" by the incident, and wouldn't even go in the living room where the men had been.

"If my daughter hadn't come out of the bath and gone downstairs, they could have gone up to her," she added.

"My daughter is traumatised. She thought I'd come back.

"She had flashbacks on Sunday night and wouldn't come through the living room. She was shaking and saying 'check the door is locked, I don't feel the house is safe'.

"It's disgusting and it happened in broad daylight.

"I've got heart failure and I'm having a procedure on Thursday. What if I had been here on my own then?"

"The men left when they were asked to and no offences were committed."
