Man escaped after taking voyeur pictures of woman at Bronte GO station

Halton police are hoping GO Train riders can help them find a man accused of voyeurism.

Police said they’re investigating an incident that took place at the Bronte GO Station in Oakville last week.

On Thursday August 1, 2024, an adult female was standing on platform No. 3 at the Bronte GO station waiting to board the 4:26 p.m. train eastbound to Toronto’s Union Station.

A man was observed standing near the female with his phone positioned under her dress. This was observed by multiple witnesses who were seated on the second level of the arriving train.

The witnesses let the female know what took place once she boarded the train and the male suspect was confronted once he was seated on the train. This confrontation took place on coach 2710.

The suspect only spoke in Spanish to the female when confronted and refused to open the photos app on his phone. The suspect then fled to another coach and disembarked at an unknown station between Bronte and Union.

The suspect is described as male, approximately 40 years old and 5-foot-6. He has black hair and an olive complexion. He spoke in Spanish and was wearing a grey hat and carrying a black laptop bag.

Police have spoken to witnesses, however, are hoping someone may have taken a picture or video of the suspect at some point when he was confronted on the busy train.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the 2 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4777, ext. 2216.

Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at the website.
