HOWELL – Township police are looking for an alleged creep who spoke about his groin to a woman in Target and was seen fondling his privates before leaving the store.
Howell Police posted a Facebook message Saturday night asking for the public’s help to identify the perv.
Police said it was March 7 around 3 p.m. at the Howell Target store on Route 9 that the alleged incidents happened.
The man, identified as Hispanic, tall with a thin build last seen wearing thin, tight, jogger style gym pants. He was carrying an infant with him in a car seat carrier.
Police said he approached a female employee and engaged in a conversation that was interpreted as being flirtatious. He then asked the employee to show him where the men’s underwear section was located.
Once there, the male made a comment about size and motioned towards his groin. The Facebook post from police said the man was obviously excited about the conversation.
He then exited the store.
Surveillance footage was reviewed by staff and the authorities. The unknown man was seen walking around the store watching females while fondling himself.
He left the area driving the pictured blue vehicle that appears to be either a Hyundai or a BMW.
Police said they are reviewing additional footage and if you know who the person is, give the PD a call at 732-938-4111.
