An 85-year-old Northamptonshire woman forced an intruder to flee her home by screaming at him non-stop.
The woman found the would-be burglar in her bungalow in Little Houghton, near Northampton, on Saturday night.
A police spokesman said the man left the property because the 85-year-old did not stop screaming. He did not manage to steal anything.
Police have released an e-fit of the man who is described as 6ft (1.8m) and aged between 35 to 40 years old.
