Police are hunting a man who was reportedly caught filming a 14-year-old in a changing room, with his cellphone, at a South Auckland shop.
The incident happened late last month, on November 28, at a retail store on Great South Rd in Papakura.
Police said the man was spotted byone of the store's staff members following a teenage girl into a changing area, after walking around in the shop's women's lingerie section for some time.
The staffer became concerned and followed him into the changing area - where the man was caught holding a cellphone under the door of a changing cubical, where the teenager was changing inside.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mal Hassall said the incident was disturbing, given the man was aware the girl's mother and shop staff were near.
"This a very concerning incident where a male has brazenly followed the 14-year-old girl into the changing area, despite her mother and a staff member being close by.
"I'm very concerned by this type of offending,'' Hassall said.
