Police search for voyeur spotted filming co-ed in WWU shower

BELLINGHAM -- Police are looking for a voyeur spotted filming a young woman showering at a Western Washington University residence hall.

At 10:20 a.m. Monday, a female student was taking a shower in the Ridgeway Alpha residence hall on Western Washington's Campus, university officials said. The woman --in the middle of her shower -- spotted a male hand holding a cellphone over the top of the shower curtain.

The woman yelled "Hey, what are you doing," officials said, and the hand immediately withdrew. The man fled from the scene before he was identified by the woman, college officials said.

Campus police are investigating the incident. Students received an alert regarding the voyeurism via the school's alert system this afternoon.

Anyone with any knowledge of the voyeurism attempt is encouraged to call police at 360-650-3555.
