Sickening video catches creep exposing himself to girl procuring at Whole Foods whereas she was bent down produce

A man in California was seen on disturbing security footage exposing himself to a woman who was shopping at Whole Foods. 

The man was seen on footage on March 23 before 8pm at the Valencia store, where he allegedly approached the shopper while she was kneeling down in an aisle. 

Video captured him walking into the store and approaching the victim before hovering over her and looking at items on the shelves. 

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the suspect then allegedly exposed himself to the woman while she was shopping and ‘inappropriately touched’ her.

The footage saw the suspect appearing to put his crotch by the woman’s head and leaning over her as she inspected items from the lower shelves of the aisle.  

He then left the store, the sheriff’s department said. 

At the time of the incident, the suspect was seen in a denim shirt and jeans. 

He is described by deputies as a man in his 30s with black hair, brown eyes and just over six foot weighing about 220 pounds, according to a press release.

A spokesperson for Whole Foods said in a statement to CBS News that the incident was ‘deeply concerning,’ and added that ‘the safety and wellbeing of our customers is our top priority.’

Ellie Perico, a nearby resident and frequent shopper at the store, told the outlet: ‘That is alarming because if you’re going to do that in public, in front of people, in front of cameras, you don’t know what they’re doing in private, in bathrooms, parks.’

Perico added that an incident such as this is rare within the community ‘where people think it’s so safe.’

‘You’re not exposed to stuff like that. They’re a little too trusting of people,’ she continued.
