Man arrested after residents report ‘peeping Tom’ in Adelaide’s eastern and western suburbs

Police have arrested a man days after a number of eastern suburbs residents reported a “creepy” midnight visitor lurking in the shadows of their suburban streets.

A man has been arrested several days after several Adelaide residents claimed a “creepy” midnight visitor had been lurking in their suburban streets.

Police say between January 12 and February 18 residents reported a man behaving suspiciously and looking through windows of homes in suburbs including Glenelg North, Norwood, Thebarton and Beulah Park.

Police arrested a 56-year-old man from Salisbury and charged him with six counts of being unlawfully on premises.

He was granted police bail to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court on May 22.

Police are urging residents who see suspicious behaviour to call the Police Assistance Line on 131 444.

Earlier this week, CCTV footage revealed by 7NEWS Adelaide captured an alleged ‘peeping Tom’ making his way through residents’ front gates and up to their windows.

“It was so creepy,” a victim of the suspicious intruder told 7NEWS Adelaide.

“Ever since then I haven’t really felt very safe to be honest, because I don’t know if he’ll come back.”

Two pieces of footage clearly show a man dressed in active gear wearing fingerless gloves as he approaches a stranger’s home to peep through the windows.

It is understood in both incidents captured on film, the man was caught in the act and fled the scene on a push bike.

In addition to these incidents caught on camera, Norwood residents have also reported gates being left wide open and rubbish bins moved.
