Creepy CCTV footage has captured a man looking around a children's doll house in a private garden.

The incident happened in Clermiston, Edinburgh around 1.40am on Thursday morning, Edinburgh Live reports. A concerned resident urged locals to make sure their properties were locked up. Sharing the image online, Nick Hunter said: "Dodgy folk walking about at 1.30am in Clermiston".

The Mirror have approached Police Scotland for comment. It comes after a concerned mum caught an alleged thief breaking into her home while her family slept in the Longstone area of the city. The incident was caught on doorbell footage, showing a man taking off with her Audi RS5 at around 1.45am on Thursday morning.

She told Edinburgh Live : "It was very frightening waking up and realising someone had been in your property, my children were asleep in their beds upstairs. Someone broke the lock and entered the house. They took the car keys and then drove off with the car that was parked on the driveway. My family slept through it and only noticed this morning. Fortunately we have a second car but it is still an inconvenience."
