Police released surveillance images of a suspect believed to have photographed a woman from under her skirt at a San Mateo Target store.

Loss prevention personnel at the store told police that a man was seen in surveillance video taking pictures from underneath a woman's dress.

Officers searched for the suspect but were unsuccessful, according to police.

After reviewing surveillance video, officers confirmed that the suspect had targeted the victim and followed her through the store. At one point, the woman bent over and the suspect quickly ran up from behind and took a picture under her dress and then walked out of the store, police said.
