Peeping Tom Suspect Arrested Again For Breaking Into Home: Police

COLLEGE PARK, MD — A Hyattsville man arrested last week on multiple charges of burglary and peeping tom charges was arrested again this week for allegedly breaking into a sorority house last month, according to police. Aaron Nysus, 37, was taken into custody Wednesday morning on charges of first-degree burglary in connection with a Nov. 16 break-in at a College Park sorority house.

Police said Nysus broke into the sorority house located in the 4600 block of College Avenue. In that case, one victim woke up to find Nysus in the home. Nysus fled moments after the victim woke up. Detectives have since spoken to a second victim in that home who said a personal item was taken during the break-in.

According to police, Nysus also is accused of breaking into at least seven homes in College Park beginning Nov. 16. In at least five of the cases, he's facing peeping tom charges, police said.

Prince George's police officers say they were most recently called to an apartment building in the 4300 block of Hartwick Road on Dec. 8. They spoke to a victim who told officers that at 5:45 a.m., she awoke to the sound of her front door opening, police said. She went to investigate the noise but reportedly didn't find anyone in her apartment.

Detectives said they reviewed surveillance video from the building and saw that Nysus was the suspect who broke into her apartment. He also was seen on surveillance video checking the doors of approximately 25 apartments that same morning, police said. He walked into three other apartments while inside of the building, detectives said. He stayed in each of those apartments for several minutes. In each of those cases, residents were inside and unaware of his presence.

During the suspect's arrest, police say they collected evidence linking him to a break-in in an apartment on Nov. 17 in the 4000 block of Knox Road. In that case, police said the victim woke up to Nysus standing by her bed. He then ran from her apartment. Detectives said they also found additional items that could belong to victims who may not know they were victimized or knew and didn't report the crime.

"Since October of 2014, this individual has been charged in seven incidents for multiple similar crimes in the same area. He is currently on probation for trespassing/peeping tom. Through a joint investigation with University of Maryland Police, we hope this helps bring some relief to the residents of College Park knowing that he was apprehended and charged once again," said Major Sunny Mrotek, Commander of our Regional Investigation Division.

Nysus is now charged with first-degree burglary and five counts of trespassing/peeping tom and fourth degree burglary.
