OAK PARK TODAY CAUGHT A PEEPING
TOM IN THE ACT, AND THEY ARE
CONVINCED THEY’VE HELPED END A
DEEPLY WORRISOME CRIME SPREE.
MAN WAS FIRST CAUGHT ON CAMERA
WALKING AROUND CARRYING A LADDER

INSIDE SURVEILLANCE TEAM WAS SET
UP AFTER THE REPORT FROM WARREN
AND OTHERS FROM EAST POINT AND

IN THE COMING DAYS. THE US SAYS
ITS EFFORTS TO RECOVER DEBRIS
FROM THAT CHINESE AIR BALLOON
ARE NOW OVER. THE BALLOON WAS
SHOT DOWN ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO
OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
THE NAVY THE COAST GUARD, THE
FBI SAY ALL OF THE DEBRIS IS NOW
OFF THE OCEAN FLOOR,
INVESTIGATORS SAY CURRENT
ANALYSIS OF THE DEBRIS SUPPORTS
THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS A SPY
BALLOON DESPITE THE CHINESE
DENIALS. AIR AND SEA
RESTRICTIONS OFF THE SOUTH
CAROLINA COAST HAVE NOW BEEN
LIFTED. AS WE REPORTED THREE
OTHER OBJECTS HAVE BEEN SHOT
DOWN OFF THE COAST OF ALASKA
OVER CANADA OVER LAKE HURON. NO
DEBRIS HAS BEEN FOUND IN ANY OF
THOSE CASES, ALTHOUGH THE
MILITARY SAYS THOSE OBJECTS WERE
MUCH SMALLER. SEVERAL REPORTS
SAY THE OBJECT SHOT DOWN OVER
CANADA MAY HAVE BEEN A BALLOON
SENT AROUND THE WORLD BY A HOBBY
CLUB IN ILLINOIS. THE WHITE
HOUSE SAYS EACH OBJECT POSED A
POTENTIAL RISK TO AIR TRAFFIC
ALONE AND THEREFORE THE U. S WAS
JUSTIFIED IN SHOOTING THEM DOWN.
