Hamilton Police investigate prowling incident in Westdale

First Published:

 

Hamilton Police are investigating another prowling incident in Westdale – the third in about a month.

Officers were called to a home on Paisley Ave. and Haddon St. just after 11 p.m. Tuesday.

This after a woman in the home noticed a man standing outside, peering into a window.

The canine unit was sent out but no one was found.

Tuesday’s incident is the third such incident in about a month.

Police say they’ve received numerous calls for suspicious activity in the area over the past few weeks.

A 21-year-old woman woke up to find a man in her room on Aug. 3. Police say he got in through a second-storey window.

Just a few weeks later on Aug. 28, a woman woke up as an unknown man was opening her door.

In that case, police say he got in through an unlocked door.

Hamilton Police say it’s too early to link the two August cases, but say there are similarities.

They are reminding residents to make sure their doors are locked and windows are secured.
