LONG BEACH (CNS) - Police in Long Beach today identified one of two men wanted as “persons of interest” in their investigation into a series of incidents in which men peeped into women's homes, and authorities released images of both men.
Incidents involving men looking into windows occurred at various times between about 8 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. between Jan. 12 and Oct. 23, the Long Beach Police Department reported.
One man being sought for questioning was identified by police as Fredrick Terrence Harvey, 51, of Long Beach.
