The arrest was made possible thanks to a vigilant neighbor who spotted suspicious activity on his security cameras and immediately called police.

The neighbor, Leon Long, lives next to the victim on Apple Orchard Way in unincorporated Cobb County. He shared videos of the creepy sight he caught on camera with Channel 2′s Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell.

One video shows a man walking through someone’s backyard, looking through a window and kneeling down for another view. The man then stands on top of something to look in the window.
