Peeping Tom caught on camera in Virginia-Highland
Police say a home security camera caught a serial peeping Tom returning to the same home nearly a dozen times. Police have few answers about what that guy was doing, but they’re trying to track him down.
ATLANTA - Police are looking for a peeping Tom who they said has returned to the same home nine times in the span of about a month.
Atlanta detectives released doorbell security camera footage Monday evening of the man peering into the home on North Highland Avenue NE in the area of the Virginia Highland neighborhood.
Police said he first entered the property on Aug. 13, and has since returned eight other times trying to get inside.

According to the "be on the lookout" advisory, police consider him armed and dangerous.
People who live nearby told FOX 5 the whole predicament is disturbing.
"That is really unsettling," said Betsy Lamb, a Virginia Highland resident. "Especially that they have a Ring camera, and they’re still doing it."

Peeping Tom caught on camera in Virginia-Highland | RAW
Atlanta police are searching for a peeping Tom who was seen in a video along North Highway Avenue on Aug. 13, 2023. Atlanta Crime Stoppers released this video of the suspect.
Atlanta police zeroed in on a tattoo on the suspected prowler’s right forearm, and another further up the same arm.
"I would definitely be uneasy," Lamb said. "Especially if you’re someone living alone, especially if you’re a woman living alone. At night. It looks like that’s a back door."

Neighbors were mystified about what the guy could have possibly been looking for.
"There’s something he wants, obviously around here, I just don’t know what," said Taylor Eastwood, who lives in the area. "If he’s going back to the same location every time, it’s a little scary, so I can understand they’re probably scared too."
Detectives said they are accepting anonymous tips to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477), online, or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637).
They are offering a reward of up to $2,000 for anyone who can help track down the suspect.
