A man suspected of multiple voyeuristic crimes has been detained by the Miami-Dade Police Department. Arrested in the Country Walk area of Southwest Miami-Dade, the 26-year-old Yoel Antonio Setien Martinez was caught kneeling in bushes, peering into a residence yesterday evening.
Over several months, the MDPD Hammocks District's General Investigations Unit had been receiving and responding to various reports concerning burglaries and peeping tom incidents in the neighborhood. The breakthrough came when detectives observed and apprehended Martinez engaged in the act. According to the department's release, after being read his Miranda rights, Martinez confessed to entering multiple victims' backyards, spying through their windows, and engaging in indecent acts.
The offenses have landed Martinez with a string of charges, including burglary of an occupied dwelling, voyeurism, indecent exposure, and resisting an officer without violence. The incident took place near the intersection of SW 152nd Street and SW 142nd Avenue as detailed by the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Further investigation details and the suspect's profile were released by the police.
