The police in South Jersey are searching for a man who was seen harassing women at the Gloucester Township shopping mall at least twice without their knowledge. The police released surveillance camera footage of the suspect exiting the Target store at Town Square Plaza on Cross Keys Road in Gloucester Township. The footage shows a man dressed in black exiting the store. In the next shot, he is seen approaching a female customer on a bicycle. The woman told the police that she was inappropriately touched from behind. The suspect is then seen riding away on one wheel from Williamstown Road. Shopper Lisa Smith, who comes to the store several times a week, said, "This is scary, very scary. You could be with your kids, and I think about how something like this could happen." Another shopper added, "Unfortunately, this is the world we live in. I can't worry about things like this; I just have to be careful and watch those around me." The police reported to FOX 29 that the suspect also touched another woman outside the PetSmart store in the same parking lot, and possibly a third woman as well. Detectives did not release the video until this week. The police do not suspect there are other victims, but they cannot be sure. Another shopper said, "This is very scary. Just thinking that something like this could happen in my neighborhood is really frightening."
