The Braintree Police Department has issued a plea to the public for assistance in nabbing a 'Peeping Tom' who has reportedly been invading the privacy of female residents in two local neighborhoods. Police have identified a potential pattern of such violations starting as early as November 2023, with possibilities of similar incidents stretching back to 2021.

Residents of Alida Road and neighboring areas, as well as Angela Road and its environs, are urged to stay alert and to meticulously scrutinize their home camera footage for any unusual activity — particularly during the early evening to early morning hours when these unsettling incidents seem to predominantly occur. 

The suspect in question is described as a light-skinned male of average height and build, as reported on the Braintree Police Department's Facebook page. The police are following multiple leads with both marked and undercover patrols to ensure residents' safety.

"These cases are usually solved with the assistance of our community; our neighbors will be our best source of information to identify this person", the police department expressed on their social media post.

Those who may have encountered suspicious individuals on their property, or who have captured potential suspects on their home surveillance systems, are encouraged to contact the Braintree Police Detective Division at 781-794-8620.
