East Hampton Town police, in conjunction with the Suffolk County Crime Stoppers division, are offering a cash reward for help in identifying a man who put his cellphone under a woman's skirt at the HomeGoods store in Wainscott earlier this month.

Police said that the man, described as white and about 40 years old, with paint stains on his hands and shorts, surreptitiously put his phone under a woman's skirt, without her realizing it, at about 3 p.m. on Aug. 10, apparently to take photos. The woman's friends noticed what he was doing. He then fled the store.

Crime Stoppers offer rewards at various levels, up to $5,000, to those who help police solve crimes. Anyone with information is asked to call 800-220-TIPS (8477.) All calls will be kept confidential.
