VANCOUVER, Wash. - Police have arrested a man suspected of breaking into a home, stripping off his clothes, taking a video of himself and then leaving the camera behind.
The incident happened in late April after the man followed two teenage girls to a Vancouver home. He later broke into the house, recorded video of himself in a bathroom mirror and left the camera.
The Vancouver Police Department got numerous tips after the story aired Wednesday night. There was a lot of concern in the community because the crime occurred right across the street from the popular Lieser Crest Park.
The man under arrest is 24-year-old Jose Mendez-Barragan. It turnes out he had been picked up on a warrant within the past 24 hours and was already in jail. He faces one count of Indecent Exposure and one count of Unlawful Communication with a Minor for Immoral Purposes.
