Cops’ chilling discovery arresting man for peeping into women’s windows across Sydney

A man wanted over several disturbing allegations of surveillance and surveillance in Sydney’s inner west was allegedly armed with a knife when he was arrested.

Between May and October this year, police were called to a woman’s home on Harnett Ave, Marrickville, on five separate occasions after reports a man was trying to talk to her through the window.

Each time, the man fled the scene before police arrived.

Police received a similar report from another woman living at a house on Livingston Rd in Marrickville at around 3.30am on June 21, but the man fled the scene before they arrived.

Detectives launched the Tuclin Strike Force in August to find the man, who was wanted on allegations of various surveillance and sexual acts in the area.

Police were carrying out surveillance at the property in Harnett St in October when they saw a man enter the front garden and look through the window.

When police approached the man he fled, he fled the scene but officers arrested him in a nearby car park and took him back to Newtown Police Station.

Police claimed the man was carrying a knife.

He was charged with seven counts of peeping or peeping, damaging or destroying property, possession of a knife in a public place and resisting arrest.

The man, who was refused bail, is expected to appear before Newtown Local Court on Tuesday.
