A man who walked into a Peoria Dollar Tree on Monday afternoon wasn’t interested in bargain shopping. Instead, police say, he inappropriately touched two young girl in two separate incidents.
The girls weren’t at the store together but had apparently drifted away from each of their parents, who were also in the store.
Police grabbed images of the suspect from surveillance cameras.
And they also want to talk to a second man, who entered and exited the store at the same time as the suspect. Cops are calling him a person of interest, and note that neither man made any purchases from the business.
