A man has broken into a family’s home and watched their six-month-old daughter sleep in a “scary” incident caught on CCTV cameras.
The uninvited visitor let himself into Tom and Isabella Ridgewell’s Tweed Heads home while they were sleeping last night.
He stood over six-month-old Amora’s crib watching her as she slept in her parents’ room.
The man was then captured on CCTV cameras as he walked into the kitchen, grabbed himself a beer and a block of parmesan cheese and settled in on the couch.
“He had every opportunity to take what we have and [he took] nothing,” Mr Ridgewell said.

“It was almost like he was at home with how he was acting.”
The man then returned to the bedroom where he awoke Mr Ridgewell, who chased him out of the house with a baseball bat that he keeps next to his bed.
The parents say they have no idea how the man got into their home.
They said NSW Police told them that there had been reports of a delusional man in the area and that they were not going to investigate the case.
“The comment that I had when they were attending was, ‘I don’t think we’ll be following up on this’ … [it] doesn’t give you a lot of confidence.”
