WOBURN, Mass., WHDH — Police in Woburn, Massachusetts are looking for a man who broke into several homes then watched and waited for homeowners to wake up.

That's when the creepy crimes take a strange turn.

Victims told police the man apologized for breaking into the home and ran away.

"They come face-to-face from sound sleep to encounter someone in their bedroom," Woburn Police Chief Robert Ferullo said.

One woman in Woburn, who asked not to be identified, said she is one of the victims.

"He was standing over my bed," she said. "I woke up, thought it was a dream, the guy had his hands on me."
