A "terrified" woman felt trapped as a knife-wielding intruder threatened her and rummaged through her bed during an early morning crime spree that culminated in multiple car thefts and a police pursuit.
The startling events of April 30, 2021, are detailed in documents tendered to the ACT Supreme Court, where Mitchell John West is soon to be sentenced in the drug and alcohol list.
West, 25, is currently behind bars on remand, having pleaded guilty to two counts each of aggravated burglary and theft.
