Neighbors say they didn't hear anything and are alarmed by the crime.

"I'm just devastated for them it’s a horrible thing because this is such a lovely street," Vanessa Holroyd, who lives nearby, said.

Authorities released surveillance images of the man being sought. He is described as being in his 40s and over 6 feet tall. He was wearing dark-colored clothing and glasses at the time.

This isn't the only incident that has neighbors on edge. Boston police are still looking for a peeping Tom who's been spotted peering into apartments near Boston Collage, just a few miles away.

"That’s maybe when you tighten up a little a bit and really remember to lock the front doors and do all sorts of things," neighbor Tolle Graham said.

There have been no arrests in either case.
