Burlington Commack employee arrested for secretly photographing 10-year-old – NBC New York

A Burlington, Long Island employee was arrested for allegedly taking photographs of a young girl in the locker room.

Suffolk County police say 27-year-old William Veitch-Cante was working at the store on Veterans Memorial Highway in Commack when he slid his cellphone under a dressing room door to take pictures of a 10-year-old girl trying on clothes inside. The incident happened around 9:15 p.m. Sunday, police said.

The young girl saw the cell phone and told her parents, who then confronted Veitch-Cante and called the police.

Authorities said Veitch-Cante, of Commack, was charged with unlawful surveillance and endangering the welfare of a child.

Police did not release a photo of Veitch-Cante, but asked anyone with additional information or who believes they may have been a victim to call Fourth Squad at 631-854-8452.

Further information was not initially available.
