Braintree Police Search For 'Peeping Tom' Active Since November

BRAINTREE, MA — Braintree police have notified the public that a "peeping Tom" has been active in two Braintree neighborhoods for at least a few months, but some instances could date back a few years.

The Braintree Police Department is seeking public assistance in identifying a person of interest in several cases. Officials said the cases are centered on two neighborhoods, and most have occurred since November of 2023 with a potential of other cases dating back to 2021.

The neighborhoods in question are Alida Road and surrounding streets, and Angela Road and the surrounding neighborhood. The time of day ranges from early evening to early morning, officials said.

"We have some investigative leads but also need assistance from any resident who may have encountered a suspicious person on their property," police said. "We ask residents to check their camera footage to see if any persons have been captured on their surveillance systems. As always, neighbors should remain vigilant and report further suspicious activity."

Police don't know the motivation of the suspect, but said that, in each case, "the person is surreptitiously viewing or filming young females in their homes."

"While following leads, we have also been saturating the area with marked and undercover patrols," police said.

"These cases are usually solved with the assistance of our community; our neighbors will be our best source of information to identify this person. Although these crimes are misdemeanors, they are extremely distressing and violating for those involved. Your BPD’s primary mission is to help create an environment of safety in our neighborhoods. To that end, we can use your help."

People with information are asked to call the detective division at 781-794-8620.
