Daily Five: Police Identify Crystal Mall Peeping Tom Suspect

1. Today should be sunny, with a high around 59, according to the National Weather Service. Tonight should be partly cloudy, with a low around 45, according to the service.

2. Some news from the Waterford Police Department’s Facebook page.

On October 5 the department announced on its Facebook page that a suspect in the Crystal Mall voyeur incidents has been identified. Police refused all further comment, as it is still an active investigation.

Earlier this month, the department sent out a press release saying a man had twice tried to spy on people in changing rooms in clothing stores in the Crystal Mall. The man allegedly had a camera attached to the top of his sneaker and would put his foot underneath the door of changing rooms to try to take pictures of people changing. Twice in September, the man was confronted, and twice the man ran away.

As mentioned, a suspect has now been identified as the alleged Crystal Mall peeping Tom. Patch will continue to follow this story.
