A couple of creepy guys are targeting women in dresses.

Let’s start in the West Valley. It was Oct. 17, 2012, about lunchtime when a woman was shopping in the Target store at 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.

Phoenix Police Detective Kim Neis said the woman noticed a man standing very close to her “holding his cellphone under her dress like he was taking a photograph or a video.”

He was confronted by store employees and escorted out of the building. Police weren’t called until after he left but surveillance cameras captured a good picture of him.

“He was carrying a bright yellow and silver motorcycle helmet,” Neis said. “It matched his sports-style motorcycle that had the bright yellow, silver and white colors.”

Next, we head to the Paradise Valley Mall area where another creeper hit two stores. The first was July 1, 2012, about 3 p.m. This suspect didn’t use a camera.

Neis said the man’s first victim was shopping at Michael’s near Cactus and Tatum roads.

“She was just shopping and got a weird feeling and noticed that this guy was sprawled out on the floor and looking up her dress.”

His second victim was shopping at the 99 Cent Store in the same area Oct. 14.

“Again, about 2:15 [p.m.]. The victim noticed he was on the floor and looking up her dress as well,” Neis said.

Even though he didn’t use a camera, Neis said it’s still a very serious crime — felony voyeurism.
