MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - Montgomery County police are on the lookout for an alleged Peeping Tom.
What we know:
Investigators released surveillance footage of the suspected Peeping Tom Wednesday. They said the incident occurred in January when a woman was attempting to try on clothes in a dressing room at H&M, located at 11850 Grand Park Avenue in North Bethesda.
The woman heard a strange noise in the adjacent dressing room, walked out, and then saw a man standing on a chair while holding his cell phone over the dividing wall, according to police. The suspect then fled the scene.
What they're saying:
Shoppers were startled by the account.
"I mean, I’m a young woman," said Kate Beisa. "That definitely could’ve been me. That could’ve been any one of my friends, anyone that I know. Like, that’s really concerning."
Added Michelle Johnson, "There’s a lot of crazy things going on in the world right now. So, that doesn’t surprise me entirely, but in our neighborhood, that’s a bit unusual."
H&M officials didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.
