He confronted the man, who ran outside and scaled the back fence.
Police said it appeared the offender had left without taking anything.
The man was described as of Islander appearance, with brown eyes, bushy eyebrows, dark curly hair, about 170 centimetres, solid build and wearing a blue hooded windcheater.
