Investigators have little except surveillance images that they've released in the hope that the image will prompt identification by someone who sees them.

The incident occurred November 6 in the Dollar Tree, 1358 Hooper Avenue. The suspect trailed the youngster and placed himself in tight proximity when her aunt saw his genitals in his hand, police said.

She confronted him and he ran from the shop, police said.

Detective Thomas Grosse is handling the investigation and can be reached at 732-349-0150, extension 1263. You can also leave a private message on the Toms River PD Facebook page.
