DAVIE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man seen on surveillance video footage peeping into a Davie home and possibly performing a lewd act.
Cameras were rolling outside of a home in the Lake Estates at Rolling Hills community, located on the 3600 block of West Rolling Hills Circle, when a man could be seen entering the backyard at approximately 10:45 p.m., Friday.
He proceeds to look into the window of a bedroom while lying on a pool heater.
The peeping Tom then made his way closer to the home by crawling on the floor into the screened-in patio.
At one point, the man seems to be masturbating, said police, while continuing to keep his gaze inside of the home, this time through glass French doors.
“It’s very creepy and also it is very disturbing that someone would enter someone’s backyard and then in the pool area, you can see in the video, he’s right up against the French doors there looking into the bedroom,” Davie Police Sgt. Mark Leone said.
Police said they are not sure if the man was peeping into other homes at the time the video was taken.
The incident has left some residents in the area on edge.
“Very concerning. That’s crazy,” resident Emily Barr said. “I don’t want to see anyone on my lawn. I live here. I want to be safe in a gated neighborhood.”
“Extra security. I turn on my alarm on all the time, and I keep all the doors locked. I don’t walk around so freely anymore,” added another resident in the area.
If you have any information on this peeping Tom, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $3,000 reward.
