Wheeling police responded last Monday after store employees recognized a man from a previous complaint from a mother who reported that a man placed something under her daughter’s dress.
The man had used a video camera to capture images under the dress of a 13-year-old female at the Wheeling, Illinois Walmart store, 1455 East Lake Cook Road. The girl’s mother reported the suspicious behavior to store security who review security video and called police. The offender, a man in his 60’s, left before police arrived.
