SARASOTA, Fla. -- A Sarasota man is facing two charges of voyeurism after being caught on surveillance cameras looking up women's skirts.

According to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, 62-year-old Alan Ralph was arrested Monday after detectives viewed store surveillance video from the Walmart on Cattlemen Road in Sarasota.

The investigation began last week after a woman contacted the sheriff's office, saying she observed a man crouching down on the ground to look up her skirt on two separate occasions in the store.

Detectives reviewed the video, which showed Ralph kneeling down behind the woman to see underneath her skirt.  Further investigation found several other similar incidents with other women in the store.

Ralph remains in custody in the Sarasota County Jail.
