Ottawa police are releasing photos of a man wanted for repeated voyeurism in a downtown residential neighbourhood in hopes the public can help identify him.
The police service first said last week that detectives are investigating seven separate voyeurism incidents that happened overnight in Sandy Hill between early October and December this year.
A man wearing a hooded sweatshirt was witnessed “peering into” women’s windows between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. in all cases reported to police, the police force said last week.
The police force’s central criminal investigations unit is handling the probe and investigators are asking people to help them track down the suspect.

Sandy Hill is a neighbourhood on the east side of the Rideau Canal in downtown Ottawa, adjacent to Centretown and the ByWard Market. The area is also home to the University of Ottawa campus.
Police urge anyone with information about the suspect’s identity or any of the voyeurism incidents to call 613-236-1222 ext. 5625 or e-mail mcm@ottawapolice.ca.
