Lincoln Police are searching for a suspect and asking the public for assistance in locating a man accused of masturbating to young women at Scheels, and following around another girl at a different area store.

The first reported incident took place on June 4 just after 5 p.m. A member of the loss prevention team for Scheels, located at 2960 Pine Lake, was watching surveillance video when he noticed an adult male standing by two females, who appeared to be 15-years-old, authorities said.

Police said the security officer saw the man on the video place his hands down his shorts and begin masturbating.

The females never noticed the man, and eventually walked away and met up with another individual, believed to be one of the girl’s fathers.

A few minutes later, the man walked in the area of another female, who looked to be roughly 8-years-old, and repeated the motion.

After the story was reported by media outlets, police received another complaint about the pictured male following a 12-year-old around Barnes & Noble at the SouthPointe Pavillions on June 2.

Eventually, the man reportedly approached the 12-year-old and asked where her parents were.

The young girl pointed to a stranger and said that it was her mother, and the male left.

Police said they have identified the pictured male, and are working on contacting the suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police if they have any information.
