Barnes & Noble Sexual Assault Suspect Strikes in Target

The man wanted in connection with a late November sexual assault in Falls Township is now suspected of groping a girl at a popular store in Middletown.

Police in two townships are keeping their eyes open for a "subject of interest" wanted in connection with two incidents where young girls were touched.

Middletown authorities late Wednesday afternoon issued a message that the same suspect from the Nov. 27 incident at the Barnes & Noble in Falls is reported to have touched a girl at the Target Tuesday evening in the Langhorne section of the township.

Police say the suspect touched the young girl at the store on East Lincoln Highway at around 8:30 p.m. No further information was released.
