She phoned local cops as she and her pal hid silently in a wardrobe - but has blasted their 'patronising' advice after claiming they released him moments after catching him on the grounds.

Fun before terror: Kimberley Garner has revealed she was forced to hide in a wardrobe during a terrifying home intruder ordeal at her rented LA home hours after posting a fun pool video

Taking to Instagram to share her terror with fans on Tuesday, she wrote: 'Tonight. Was just going to bed in our newly rented house. When we saw a large hooded man at the door at midnight, with a van outside. 

'Just me and a girlfriend were alone in the house, which was big and up in the hills in Beverley hills totally isolated. We had no lock on our bedroom door. So were very silent and climbed inside the wardrobe in the dark. We were in there for 20 minutes as we heard him try every door around the house, and listened as he broke one.

'Staying very still as we heard him in every room around the house. We called the police and when they finally arrived. Caught the hooded man in the house. Not only did they not file a report. They did not take his details and just let him go. 

'With the patronising advice of 'better go around the house girls to check if the doors are locked' before they left us. This man only had bad intentions, rob, rape or worse, and if we hadn't seen him and hid to call the police I hate to think what he was going to do to us.'
