The suspect was working as an employee at Burlington in Commack, located at 108 Veterans Memorial Highway, when he reached his cell phone under a changing room door and surveilled the girl at approximately 9:15 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1, according to Suffolk County Police.

The girl saw the cell phone and told her parents, who were also in the store. 

The parents confronted the worker, William Veitch-Canete, age 27, of Commack, and then called the police.

Fourth Squad detectives charged Veitch-Canete with:

  • Unlawful surveillance,
  • Endangering the welfare of a child. 

He will be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip at a later date.
