PANAJI: A strange case involving a slippery intruder with a voyeuristic fetish, who has effected a series of break-ins at Adwalpalkar Horizon, Dona Paula, has left police baffled. Eleven residents of the posh residential complex have complained that, since the last three months, a nearly nude man has been breaking into their homes at night, and watching women while they sleep.In their complaint, residents stated that they have woken up in the morning to find their doors and windows, which they had locked at night, open. “The intruder is able to unlock the hall and kitchen windows from the outside even when they are locked. All the houses that he has entered were locked and secure. It is worth noting that we checked two house with grilles on the windows and they had no signs of entry,” they said.An important aspect to the break-ins, residents added, was that the man only entered houses with women in them and watched them while they slept.Residents said the man, whom they described as very skinny of medium height, dark skin, with oil smeared all over his body, and wearing only an underwear, has targeted A-Block of the complex. “The same person or persons has been entering most of the houses in the building around 3.30am or 4am, since the last 3 months at least,” their complaint stated.While some people reported finding mysterious patches of oil in their homes, three female victims said their undergarments had gone missing. “The man doesn’t steal valuables or items, but does steal cash,” the complaint stated, adding that money has been found missing from several home in the last three months.While Rs 20,000 was stolen from apartment 503, Rs 7,000 was robbed from apartments 403 and 504. “The money often goes missing in the middle of the night, when all doors and windows are locked,” the complaint stated.Police have registered an FIR against unknown persons for altogether robbing Rs 34,000 from the various flats and for watching women while they are sleeping.On June 15, the man was spotted sleeping in apartment 501, curled up on the floor, lying down next to two women in the room. He ran out of the room and disappeared when he was followed. At the time, the incident was brushed off as a dream.Then, a man matching the exact description was spotted in apartment 204 on September 2. The couple living there woke up in the middle of the night to find him in their bedroom, standing over them, watching them while they slept. When they chased him, he escaped from the hall window and disappeared.“On speaking to everyone in the building we realised the intruder had broken into almost every house. He always enters from either the hall or kitchen window and exits from the same window or front door. There are oily fingerprints and footprints under the hall window/kitchen window of most houses in ABlock, which could only belong to a person climbing in from the outside,” the complaint stated.“It is extremely scary that this psycho/pervert/thief is able to easily break into people’s houses and do whatever he wants because of the terrible security in the building.”There are no CCTV cameras at the basement entry or on any of the floors. The basement entry is also unmonitored and anyone can walk in from the outside directly. “We have no evidence of this intruder physically harming anyone yet. However, there is no way to predict what might happen,” the complaint said.
