Police in Kamloops have released a surveillance image of a person of interest who is suspected of peering into student dorm rooms at Thompson Rivers University this month.

In one of two reports to Kamloops RCMP, he was spotted looking into a window at the McGill Residences on University Drive around 1 a.m., Oct. 7.

Spokesperson Cpl. Dana Napier said the investigators are simultaneously looking to identify the man, while the detachment works with community partners to address safety concerns in the area.

Those community partners include Thompson Rivers University which wouldn’t comment on the incidents when reached by iNFOnews.ca, but did say it’s working with police and takes all student safety concerns seriously.

It offers a sexual violence response team for students and it has options for students in place when their safety is affected, included potentially relocating them to a new suite.

One student said she recorded a video of a man as she caught him peering into her window in which he is seen fleeing once spotted. She was not available for an interview, but a friend posted the video to social media earlier this month.

Two reports have been made to Kamloops RCMP, but it’s not clear whether more than one student has been affected in the voyeurism incidents.

Police released the photo along with a call to the public for assistance in identifying the suspect.

Anyone with information can contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
