A London man faces voyeurism charges after a homeowner witnessed a person peeking into the window of their home, police say.

It was shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 22, last Tuesday, when London police say a homeowner living near the intersection of Talbot and Huron streets received a notice from their doorbell camera. When they viewed the camera footage, a man was seen exposing himself, peeking into a window of the home at a woman, police said.

The man ran away when the homeowner called out to him, police said.

Investigators with the London police sexual assault and child abuse section identified the suspect. On Oct. 24, a 39-year-old London man was arrested and charged with voyeurism and trespassing at night, police said.

The accused appeared in a London court one day later, police said. 

Another similar incident was reported in the area and police issued a description of that suspect. He is described as a white man standing about five-foot-11 and weighing 165 pounds with a shaved or bald head and a black beard. He was wearing a light-coloured hoodie and dark pants.

Anyone with information is asked to call London police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
