WTF

A man already accused of stealing underwear from a woman’s home was arrested again,

this time for allegedly using a hidden camera to look up women’s dresses.  Kornwall Chan

was arrested Wednesday and arraigned on charges including invasion of privacy and dis-

orderly conduct after he was found inside the King of Prussia Mall with a hidden camera

in his bag, according to a press release put out by Montgomery County District Attorney

Risa Vetri Ferman Thursday.  Ferman says that a man — later identified as Chan — was alle-

gedly spotted back in September using a camera to look up a woman’s dress at the JC Penny

store at King of Prussia. After that incident, Chan’s photo was distributed by Upper Merion

Police.  Flash forward to Sunday when prosecutors say that a loss prevention officer at the

KOP Lord and Taylor says she saw a man in the KOP Plaza near the JC Penny that looked like

the man in the flier sent out last year.

Per Montgomery County D.A. press release:

Police officers located Chan at the mall and discovered that he was carrying a bag with a hid-

den camera inside of it. Police reviewed the video inside of the camera, which revealed foot-

age of Chan following a woman in the JC Penny store and continuously placing the hidden

camera underneath her skirt, showing the woman’s underwear.  Chan, 37, was already out

on $100,000 bail after being arrested in January on burglary, criminal trespass, stalking,

theft and related charges, according to court records.

Ferman’s release explains the earlier arrest:

In the January 2012 case, Chan met the female victim at the Oreland train station and, over

the ensuing weeks, engaged in a course of conduct that made the female so uncomfortable

that she began to actively seek ways to avoid running into him during her morning com-

mute.  In addition, Chan burglarized the victim’s home, stealing only her bras and panties.

During his time in the victim’s home, Chan turned all of the family photographs face-down

with the exception of a photograph of the victim. Her photograph was left upright and

moved onto the dining room table.  Bail for the most recent charges was set at $500,000.

Since some of the newest allegations against the Dresher, Pa. man came while he was out

on bail for the previous theft, prosecutors asked for his bail to be revoked.  That bail hear-

ing is scheduled for Wednesday, according to court records.

HORSHAM, Pa. – May 17, 2012 – A former police officer from Montgomery County has been

charged for stealing guns, drugs and cash, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office an-

nounced on Thursday.  John Becker, 42, of Horsham, is charged for a number of alleged in-

cidents dating back to 2003. He is a former detective sergeant with the Hatboro Police De-

partment.  According to a statement from Attorney General Linda Kelly, Becker convinced

or coerced several people to make drug purchases on his behalf, including Oxycontin, Per-

cocet and cocaine between December 2009 and January 2011.  Kelly said the purchases were

allegedly under the guise of assisting undercover drug investigations. However, Kelly said,

Becker is accused of keeping the drugs for his own personal use.  Becker is also accused of

stealing from the evidence room of the Hatboro Police Department, where he served as the

evidence custodian. Between 2003 and 2011, Becker allegedly stole ten firearms, including

a rare German 9mm Luger pistol, along with numerous other handguns and a 12 gauge shot-

gun.  Kelly said that Becker is also accused of taking more than $18,000 in cash from the evi-

dence room, along with an Omega watch valued at $2,700 and narcotics worth more than

$2,000.  A search warrant was executed at Becker’s home in June, 2011, in which several

items from the Hatboro Police Department were recovered, Kelly said. Becker allegedly de-

signated those items as “destroyed” while serving as evidence custodian for the police de-

partment.  Kelly said the investigation also resulted in the recovery of five firearms that

were allegedly sold by Becker to a store in Horsham and later resold to unsuspecting buyers

in Pennsylvania and Texas. Four more weapons were later located in the trunk of Becker’s

car, Kelly said.  Becker is charged with ten counts of theft by unlawful taking or disposition,

all second-degree felonies which are each punishable by up to ten years in prison and

$25,000 fines.  Additionally, Becker is charged with three counts of theft by unlawful taking,

all third-degree felonies punishable by up to seven years in prison and $15,000 fines.  Becker

is also charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance, eight counts of unlaw-

ful restraint and 12 counts of criminal coercion, all first-degree misdemeanors each punish-

able by up to five years in prison and $10,000 fines, along with four counts of official oppres-

sion, a second-degree misdemeanors punishable by up to two years in prison and $5,000

fines.  Becker surrendered on Thursday to agents from the Attorney General’s Bureau of Cri-

minal Investigation and was arraigned.

SOUTHWEST PHILADELPHIA – May 17, 2012 – An elderly man is in critical condition

after being shot during an interrupted burglary in Southwest Philadelphia, police say.

Authorities say at approximately 2:30 p.m., the 79-year-old man was watching tele-

vision.  At that same time, police say a burglar was breaking into the basement of his

home on the 6600 block of Yocum Street.  Authorities say the burglar broke in the

house through a side sliding glass window.  Police say the homeowner then heard a

noise coming from the basement and decided to investigate.  “He gets up to go see what’s

going on. He unlocks the door. As he unlocks the door, a shot is fired from the opposite

side of the door through the door, hits him in the stomach, another shot hits him in the

leg,” Lt. John Walker of the Philadelphia Police Department said.  Police say the gunman

then ran from the home out the front door.  The 79-year-old was transported to the Hos-

pital of the University of Pennsylvania in critical condition.  The victim’s wife was not

home at the time.  Police are hoping someone saw the burglar and will call authorities.
