Confusion over attack

POLICE believe it was a case of mistaken identity when a man forced his way into a Narre Warren home last week.
About 6.30pm on Friday 13 June a woman, who was home alone in her Elstar Drive house, heard a number of bangs at her front door and windows.
Police said before she had a chance to respond, the door was kicked open.
The women saw a man standing in the front door and he yelled out ‘where are you?’.
She screamed for him to get out of the house and he left straight away.
Police said the man made no demands and didn’t steal anything, and they believed it was a case of mistaken identity.
He was described as Caucasian, in his late 20s to early 30s, about 180cm tall, of medium build and was wearing a navy coloured hooded jumper with the hood over his head.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
