A 39-year-old transient and illegal immigrant has been arrested for using a mirror to watch female customers inside the women's restroom at a Mesa grocery store.

One of the victims, 20-year-old Kendra Allen has worked at the Safeway grocery store on University and Lindsay since August.

When she used the bathroom during a break on Wednesday, she discovered the peeping man.

"I just saw this mirror under the wall," she said, "and I was like, ok, that's not normal."

Allen said she immediately got help from a co-worker at the Starbucks counter and then they called police.

The incident landed 39-year-old Manuel Barrera behind bars.

Mesa Police said Barrera used the mirror to look under the stalls for the purpose of sexual stimulation.

East Mesa Justice of the Peace Court paperwork reveals he also admits to masturbating as he viewed the victim's reflection in the mirror.

"Why would somebody do that, invade people's privacy on purpose," asked Allen.

Allen said she is angry Barrera violated her privacy, but she said she's thankful she was the victim because she knew how to react.

"We have a lot of young kids in the store and a lot of elderly customers in the store as well," said Allen.

Barrera has been booked for voyeurism.
