The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office released a community warning after a man was allegedly caught peeping into a San Carlos home Tuesday night.
At about 11:20 pm, deputies were called to the 2300 block of Howard Avenue about a “suspicious person looking through the window of a residence,” the sheriff’s office said.
“A passerby confronted the suspect after which they were involved in a minor scuffle,” officials said. The suspect was last seen fleeing toward Dayton Avenue.
A search of the area failed to find the suspect. The passerby was not injured, officials said.
The suspect was described as a white or Hispanic man, about 5-feet-8, 180-pounds, with dark brown hair, comb-over style haircut shaved on the sides. He was last seen wearing a white button-down shirt, black dress pants and black dress shoes.
Anyone with information about this crime or suspect is encouraged to contact the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau at 650-599-1536 or the Anonymous Tip Line at 800-547-2700.
