Richmond police on Friday said they're looking for a man seen in the Museum District trying to peer into windows.Â
Officers were called to 200 block of South Davis Avenue at about 8 a.m. on Wednesday, but couldn't find the suspect, police said.Â
"This individual is suspected of similar activity in the general area late last year. In those incidents, the suspect was in the same general neighborhood in the late evenings," police said.Â
The incidents happened in November and December.Â
The statement from police said authorities "ask anyone who sees suspicious persons or activity to note the height of the suspect, what the person is wearing, and the direction of travel and call 911 to provide that information."
