A Verona man was accused of masturbating in his car in front of two minors while they were walking home from school, police said.

Conor McGee, 35, was arrested Tuesday following an investigation into the Oct. 1 incident on Bloomfield Avenue, according to Verona police. The two minors reported it right away to police and provided an "excellent description" of McGee and the vehicle, police said.

H.B. Whitehorne Middle School is the closest school to the reported incident.

After interviews and reviewing surveillance footage police charged McGee with lewdness.

Detective Sgt. Tim Banta and Officer Alyssa Kirby investigated.

Verona police reminded residents to tell their children to be alert and report suspicious activity.
