This is the moment a vigilant cop catches a sick upskirt pervert red-handed as he films a 12-year-old girl queuing at a beachside cafe.
CCTV footage – obtained by Newsflash from the Israeli police – shows the bare-chested suspect artfully positioning a black bag behind the unsuspecting girl in Tel Aviv.
The officer – who was waiting for coffee – is seen watching the 40-year-old suspect before seizing him.
As he grabs the pervert’s wrist he marches the man – wearing just shorts and flip-flops – to a cafe table and asks the victim to follow him.
Then as the suspect tries to flee the officer grabs him in a stranglehold to restrain him before the footage ends.
Israeli Police said in a statement obtained by Newsflash on 26th June: “Vigilance of Tel Aviv police officers leads to arrest of a 40-year-old suspect secretly filming a 12-year-old girl by Gordon Beach.”
Investigators seized a phone and a camera from the offender.
Local media say this indicates that the alleged upskirting culprit had been targeting young women before.
However, there has been no information regarding the devices’ contents.
The suspect has been put under house arrest after a first hearing at Tel Aviv Magistrate Court.
The investigation continues.
