The University of Saskatchewan is seeking public help in identifying a suspicious man who has been seen peering into student residence windows several times over the past week.

The incidents are taking place in the south campus residence which is located in the College Quarter.

Campus Safety says people living in or near south campus residences should take precautions against this "Peeping Tom" who was most recently reported looking into windows this morning (Fri).

He is described as a white man, between 150 and 180 pounds, in his mid twenties, with light coloured hair.

He was last seen wearing a black bunny-hug, light coloured pants and light-coloured shoes.

Witnesses last week said they first saw the suspect 11 days ago tapping on the glass outside their windows.

Two days later, the suspect was spotted by the same witness across the courtyard looking into another window.

At that time, the university sent out a campus-wide email and text message to alert the community.

Residents are reminded to keep windows and blinds closed in the evenings, and to make sure gates and doors are securely locked.
