Miami-Dade cops say they nabbed a peeping Tom in Country Walk
Miami-Dade police detectives arrested a man they say they caught peeping into people’s homes in the Country Walk neighborhood Thursday night.
The arrest was made after police say they have been receiving complaints for months about burglaries and peeping Tom incidents in the area.
Detectives patrolling the neighborhood Thursday say they saw a man kneeling in the bushes of a yard and looking into a home located between Southwest 152nd Street and 142nd Avenue. They rushed toward him and arrested him, said Detective Argemis Colome, a spokesman for the department.
Police on Friday identified the man as 26-year-old Yoel Antonio Setien Martinez, who lives in Country Walk.
After police read him his rights, he “admitted to entering multiple victims’ fenced backyards, staring at them through their windows, as well as exposing and pleasuring himself,” Colome said.
Setien Martinez was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on charges of burglary, voyeurism, indecent exposure and resisting officers without violence. Information about his legal representation was not immediately available.
As of Friday morning he was being held in jail with bond yet to be set on his burglary and indecent exposure charges.
