A chilling incident in Sydney's inner west has left residents on high alert after a woman's repeated encounters with an alleged peeping tom led to criminal charges.
The disturbing situation unfolded in Ashfield when a local woman reported hearing a man's voice outside her window on multiple occasions. According to police reports, the woman became increasingly concerned after noticing the mysterious voice returning to her property.
Police were called to the address on Tuesday evening following another concerning incident. Officers from Burwood Police Area Command responded quickly to the scene and began their investigation.
Their inquiries led them to a 39-year-old man who was subsequently arrested at the location. The suspect, who resides in the same apartment complex as the victim, now faces serious charges.
The man has been charged with peeping or prying on another person, a offence that carries significant legal consequences under NSW law.
Following his arrest, the accused was granted strict conditional bail and is scheduled to appear before Burwood Local Court later this month. The conditions of his bail are designed to protect the community while the legal process continues.
This case serves as an important reminder for residents to remain vigilant about home security and to report any suspicious behaviour immediately to authorities.
