Concern Grows in Huntsville Following Disturbing Peeping Incident

Huntsville Police are currently on the case after a troubling incident where a man was caught peeking into a child’s bedroom window on Wrenwood Drive. The unsettling event took place in the early hours on Thursday morning, specifically around 1:50 a.m., in the 2000 block of Wrenwood Drive. This has understandably sparked concern among local residents, particularly parents.

The Incident Unfolds

Earlier in the day, a homeowner reviewed their security video and made a shocking discovery: a man was seen creeping into their backyard, gazing through their daughter’s window. This heart-stopping moment, captured on camera, has raised serious questions about safety in the neighborhood.

It was only hours later, after reviewing the footage, that the homeowner realized what had transpired, leaving them feeling anxious and disturbed.

In response to this unsettling incident, the Huntsville Police Department is urging all residents to review any surveillance footage they may have from December 19, particularly between 1:00 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. They believe that other homeowners might have captured the suspect either approaching or leaving the area, which could be vital to the ongoing investigation.

Describing the Suspect
