WESTWOOD (CBSLA.com) — Authorities at UCLA are advising students to be on the lookout for a peeping tom and sexual battery suspect.

In the peeping incident, a victim reported seeing a black male peering into windows around 10 p.m. on January 25.

The peeping took place at an apartment near the campus located in the 10000 block of Roebling Avenue, according to UCLA police.

KCAL9's Bobby Kaple spoke to one student who said the man has come to her window several times.

"I walked in my kitchen and the blinds were closed, but out of the corner of my blinds, I could see a man, he couldn't see me. " said Elizabeth Koslov.

The student said she was buying pepper spray as a precaution.

Anyone with information about the suspect was urged to contact the UCLA Police Department Detective Division at (310) 825-9371.
