Residents in Rochester Hills and Troy have reported incidents about a man who peeks into home windows, sliding doors and, in one incident, has broken into a residence.

Now, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office is searching for the suspect.

Police said the man has been involved in five confirmed reports in Rochester Hills and one in Troy dating to March. In most cases, the alleged prowler looks into windows or back sliding doors before running off. Some incidents were recorded on the Ring doorbell device and security cameras.

Then in July, the man entered a home twice in Troy. In one of the incidents, he touched a woman's leg before running out of the house.

In addition, there are other reports police believe are related, but have yet to confirm. The incidents mainly occurred on the south side of Rochester Hills, including on Monterey, Hazelton, Dearborn and Villanova streets.

"It appears this individual may be escalating his behavior with the home invasion in the city of Troy," said Sheriff Michael Bouchard. "We want this guy off the streets as soon as possible."

The suspect is described as about 20 years old, with a thin build, short hair and a possible goatee.

The sheriff's office is asking others who have been a victim of the suspected prowler to come forward. Those who can identify the suspect can call Crime Stoppers at 800-SPEAK-UP.
