Caught on tape: Man flashes girlMetro police are searching for a man who they say exposed himself to a young girl at a south side retail store
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Metro police are searching for a man who they say exposed himself to a young girl at a south side retail store.
Authorities believe they have the suspect caught on a security camera. They're hoping the pictures will lead to him being put behind bars. The video actually shows the unidentified man in action.
"He definitely follows the family, in particular a young eight-year-old, girl throughout the store," said IMPD Detective Rick Burkhardt.
The man is wearing a dark green Ivy Tech polo shirt and dark pants. The video shows him following the family in and out of the store. Police said the upset girl later told her mom the man exposed himself to her.
"I would say that he's done something like this before. He's pretty carefree. He definitely has no concern about being caught," said Detective Burkhardt.
The incident happened Tuesday night at a Target on Southeast Street. A lot of people shop at the store and they're stunned.
"Well, that's a pervert right there. You know, man he should be locked up, you know," said Adam Rodriguez of Indianapolis.
"I think that's pretty sick. I have an eight-year-old son, too. There's no need for that. They definitely need to be locked up and put away for a long time," said Target shopper Miranda Byrum.
The man followed the family for about a half hour. Investigators don't know much about him. He has dark hair, medium build and is about 5'8".
If caught, the man faces public indecency charges. The charge is a misdemeanor. Police believe the man will probably act out again.
Anyone with information regarding the incident should call IMPD at 327-3330 or Crime Stoppers at 262-TIPS (8477).
