Police are investigating after CCTV captured a man sneaking into the pool at a family home in inner Brisbane multiple times over three months.

He is seen dipping his head in the pool before stretching.

Holly Stevens from New Farm said her cameras had caught the man almost half a dozen times.

“He’s like, sweaty, has sneakers on, and he’s running, and then he’s stretching in the pool after a run, which is honestly very gross, because it’s just like this guy that we don’t know,” she said.
