The suspect was working as an employee at Burlington in Commack, located at 108 Veterans Memorial Highway, when he reached his cell phone under a changing room door and surveilled the girl at approximately 9:15 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1, according to Suffolk County Police.
The girl saw the cell phone and told her parents, who were also in the store.
