Investigators with the York Regional Police #5 District Criminal Investigations Bureau have charged a City of Markham man with Voyeurism and believe there may be additional victims.

On August 21, 2024, a youth victim was in a unisex changeroom at Milliken Mills Community Centre in Markham when they saw a cell phone pointed in their direction and believed they were being recorded. The victim believes the suspect was standing on a bench inside a nearby stall.
