She later added: "Thank you everyone, we live in an amazing area, your support has been fantastic.
"We are angry that folk can be so brazen to not only come into your house but upstairs where people are sleeping! The main thing is we are all ok, no one was hurt and the things they took can be replaced/sorted or fixed."
It’s unclear how long the intruder had been in the property before the alarm was raised and it’s understood that police found no signs of forced entry to the premises.
