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.
