‘Panty perv’ sought in Victoria’s Secret incident, police say

A peeping suspect is wanted by Salinas police for allegedly recording a woman inside the Victoria’s Secret at Northridge Mall.

Officers said the suspect was seen browsing the store for a long period of time on Monday when a female employee approached him.

Police said a short time later, that same suspect reportedly dropped a small camera at the employee’s feet while she was wearing a dress.

The suspect is described as a white man, about 30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches, and weighing 145 pounds. He also has short brown hair, wearing prescription glasses, a silver watch on his left wrist, a gray and black shirt, black pants and black shoes.

Police said he was seen leaving the mall in an orange Jeep Cherokee.
