Woman wakes to man masturbating in her Sunshine Coast hostel room
A woman woke on Sunday morning to find a man masturbating in her Sunshine Coast hostel room.
Police have released security footage images of the man who broke into the hostel, in the hope the public can identify him.
The break-in occurred about 4am on Sunday at the hostel on Omrah Avenue in Caloundra.
The man went into several rooms, but in one, a sleeping 21-year-old woman was woken by the man and saw him masturbating.
She yelled at the man who then ran from the scene.
The man was described as having a dark complexion, solid build, short dark hair and wearing black shorts, dark coloured shoes and a silver necklace. He also had a tattoo on his upper chest/shoulder.
Police have appealed for anyone who may recognise the man to contact Policelink on 13 14 44 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
