COVINGTON, La. - Police are searching for a naked peeping Tom seen prowling in only a ski mask, but they say people don’t take him seriously enough to report him.

“Some people just think he is funny. You know, a guy running around in a ski mask and nothing else. People just think that’s funny,” Covington police Lt. Jack West said.

Peeping Toms can become more aggressive and eventually attack people, and police want to hear when he is spotted so he can be arrested before he hurts someone, West said.
