Detectives: Help ID Peeping Tom

An Acworth woman reviewing home surveillance video in connection with a separate incident found footage of a man near her home just before midnight on May 14.

investigators say an Acworth woman was "shocked" to find evidence of a peeping tom on video footage captured by her home surveillance system.

The 50-year-old Lake Shore Circle woman reported a previous trespassing incident on May 10. She was reviewing the video in connection to that case when she spotted the suspected peeping tom, investigators said on the department's Facebook page. "She was shocked to see this white male near her home just before midnight on May 14," the post says.

A deputy who watched the surveillance video noted the man looked around the home and opened the back gate. The homeowner said she had seen him at the lake, but doesn't know him.

If you recognize the man captured in the footage, call the Criminal Investigations Division at 770-382-5050, extension 6032.
