A creepy case of a Peeping Tom type who crept into a backyard of a home in the Dixon and Martin Grove Roads area Thursday has police working hard. It was about 10:30 p.m. and as he was sneaking around he was interrupted by the lady of the house, arriving home in her car. Before she spotted him however he had taken a ladder belonging to the owners and propped it against the house. He climbed it and apparently peeped into the bathroom where the woman’s children were being bathed. He ran when discovered and the woman’s partner followed him to a light coloured SUV nearby. The man is seen in security video which police have seen. He is identifiable but copies of the video that are available have his face obscured apparently at the request of the police. He appears to be lightly dressed for the cold weather. He is described as white, with a medium build, unshaven, with short, dark hair. Police are reminding area residents to lock windows and doors, and to keep ladders and tools locked up when not in use. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-2300 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477). Creepy peeper guy grabs ladder to peek into house
