Homestead Police are on the hunt for a man accused of indecent exposure towards a minor in a local Dollar Tree store, seeking assistance from the community. WSVN reported that the unsettling incident occurred in the discount store on the evening of October 5th, around 8:45 p.m., at the Northeast 10th Court location.
The suspect, a white male with a medium build and clean complexion, has alarmed local residents twice - first by exposing himself to a juvenile in October and then returning to the scene of the crime in December, avoiding apprehension by the authorities. The Homestead Police describe him as standing between 5 feet, 7 inches to 5 feet, 8 inches in height, and weighing anywhere from 160 to 180 pounds, usually seen donning a baseball cap.
Authorities have released surveillance footage and are urging anyone with knowledge of the man’s identity or whereabouts to come forward. As stated by NBC Miami, this individual potentially wears glasses and is known for his habit of wearing a baseball cap.
The Homestead Police Department has made a plea for the public's help, providing contact numbers for anyone willing to share information that could possibly lead to the suspect's capture, stressing the urgency of keeping the community safe from predators. Reports can be made to the Homestead Police by dialing 305-224-5436, reaching out to the Miami Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS, or utilizing the Homestead Police Department’s Anonymous Tip Line at 305-224-5595.
