'This kind of invasive and disturbing behavior has no place in our community,' Police Chief Mark Foley said in the statement. 'We take incidents like this very seriously and will always work to protect the most vulnerable members of our community. I'm proud of the swift and diligent work of our Detectives, Furtado and Rowland, and Officer Stavens.
