Local 6 got a copy of the 911 calls that the victims made to police Wednesday.

"I was in my apartment and someone broke in when I was in the shower," one victim told a 911 dispatcher.

The woman was forced to make the call with the help of a neighbor in the Ashford of Altamonte Springs Apartments because after breaking in, she said
the man took a picture of her and stole her phone. He later posted the picture to her Facebook account.

Police believe the same man targeted a woman at the Lotus Landing apartments.

"I just caught some guy like masturbating through my window," that victim told a 911 dispatcher. "I'm just scared."

Lauren Torres lives in the Ashford apartments and said her good friend was the victim targeted at Lotus Landing.

"It's absolutely terrifying and close to home on both ends, because it was one of my friends and it was in my complex," said Torres.

Torres said her friend still doesn't feel safe alone.

"She's doing fine. She does feel very violated by the situation, because this individual knows how she looks and she has no idea how they look," Torres said.

Jill Place lives on the bottom floor at Ashford and also said hearing about the incidents has made her look over her shoulder.

"I'm just more nervous," Place told Local 6. "It's so hard to understand why someone would do this kind of thing."

Altamonte Springs police said they have received a couple of tips from Crimeline, but none of them have panned out. With the peeper still on the loose, they said the heavy police presence near the apartments on State Road 434 will continue.

Anyone with information is asked to call 407-339-2441 or Crimeline at 800-423-8477.?
