A number of Eltham mums are warning residents of men spotted taking photos under changing room doors and filming people swimming at a local pool.

A woman called Kirsty Bain recently took to Facebook to warn people about a man she saw at Eltham Centre swimming pool.

She said: “Kids are not even safe in a swimming baths be careful letting ur kids go swimming a white man about 40 yrs old blonde hair with a polish sort of talk and he had dirty looking eyes there was just a look about him he was caught taking pictures under the changing rooms of 2 young girls lucky there was an off duty officer taking her grandson swimming who caught him.

“He was held while police came he was seen deleting the images and putting drugs in the bin not only did he have 2 phones but liquid drugs and weed on him. I go 3 times a week never seen him but apparently he's a regular.”

News Shopper has contacted the Police and Eltham Centre for a comment.

Another mum on Eltham SE9 posted yesterday saying: “Just a heads up to all mums and dads we was at Eltham Centre swimming today a man was caught filming both pools! He was supposedly live streaming. He is now known to the staff.”

She said she is warning others because the summer holidays are coming up and lots of children will be out and about sometimes without proper supervision.

A spokesman for the Eltham Centre said: "We are aware of a serious alleged incident at the Eltham Centre.

"The police were immediately notified and an investigation is now ongoing. 

“We take the safety and security of our customers very seriously and ensure that all staff at our leisure facilities are trained in the necessary procedures to respond to any reports of unacceptable behaviour.”  

It is thought that these are two different men taking the photos and videos.
