Woman groped at Target by bicyclist wanted in Gloucester Township: police
GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Police in South Jersey are looking for a man caught on video groping unsuspecting women at a Gloucester Township shopping center on at least two occasions.
Investigators released surveillance video of the suspect leaving the Target store at Town Square Plaza on Cross Keys Road in Gloucester Township back on July 15th.
The video shows a man dressed in black exiting the store. The next shot, he is seen on a bike approaching a female customer. The woman told police she was inappropriately touched from behind. The suspect is then seen doing a wheelie on his bike while riding away down Williamstown Road.
"It’s creepy. it’s very creepy. I’m thinking you could be with your kids or something and something like that happens" said shopper Lisa Smith, who comes to the store several times a week.

"Unfortunately, it is the world we live in. I can’t worry about things like that and just have to be diligent and watch who is around me" added another shopper.
Police tell FOX 29 the suspect also touched another woman and possibly a third outside the PetSmart store in the same parking lot. Detectives didn’t release the video until this week. Police do not suspect any more victims but they can’t be sure.
"It’s very creepy. It’s very scary to even think this could be happening in my neighborhood right now," said another shopper.
