Charges laid after woman grabbed in washroom

A 39-year-old man has been charged in relation to a voyeurism incident at Northland Village shopping centre.

On Monday, a woman entered the women's washroom and went into one of the stalls, noting another one was already occupied. While there, a man crawled underneath the stall partitions and grabbed the woman by her feet, police said in a news release.

The woman was able to get away, and then contacted police.
