Brookdale man, 62, charged after he allegedly tried to film up 15-year-old girl’s skirt in Armadale

Detectives have charged a man after he allegedly tried to film up a teenage girl’s skirt in Armadale on the weekend.

Police will allege the incident happened about 12.20pm on Saturday as a 15-year-old girl was in a shopping centre on Orchard Avenue in our city’s south east.

It’s alleged the man approached her from behind with his mobile phone in his hand.

Police will further allege he dropped an empty shopping bag on the floor behind her and deliberately kicked it between her legs, before bending down to pick it up with his mobile phone still in his hand.

The girl’s mother alerted shopping centre security and the matter was referred to police.

The 62-year-old man from Brookdale has been charged with attempting to indecently record a child over 13 and under 16.

He is due to appear in court at a later date.

This investigation is ongoing and detectives are urging anyone with who has experienced a similar incident or who has further information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
