Peeping Tom reported at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda
Montgomery County police were called to Westfield Montgomery Mall to investigate a peeping Tom incident on Thursday, September 7, 2023. The peeper was reported at the mall at 1:20 PM.
Should be an interesting fact pattern should we ever hear particulars. Peeping Tomism usually requires a sort of residential venue: was this incident restroom or changing roon oriented? Seems there should be specific laws to address that that even in tort.
I didn't realize we are now the proud recipients of last ditch crime 'suppression,' like our sister city "lovely Silver Spring.' Sad on so many levels.
More details please.
ReplyDeleteDid a surveillance camera catch this creep?
ReplyDeleteDid the MoCo police respond from their substation at the Mall or is that even staffed anymore?

ReplyDeleteIs that a 2nd degree offence?
ReplyDeleteIf the creepy perp did that on Norfolk Ave & St Elmo, the new portable 360° surveillance cameras would have recorded said sex crime.
