Marion County sheriff’s deputies are searching for a peeping Tom who targeted an Ocala neighborhood recently.
The man shown in the video above was caught on camera creeping up to a home in the 15000 block of S.W. 19th Terrace. He got on his hands and knees and peeped in the windows before making his way to the back of the residence, a sheriff’s office report states.
Sheriff’s officials say it’s probably not the first time the man has committed such a crime.
“There is nothing creepier then seeing a grown man peeking in your windows at night,” a post on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook page reads. “We need to get this ‘Peeping Tom’ off the streets before he does this to anyone else, or worse.”
Anyone with information about the crime or the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at (352) 732-9111. Those wishing to submit anonymous tips can contact Crime Stoppers of Marion County at (352) 368-STOP (7867). Tips can also be submitted at www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.
