BURLINGTON, ON.  Wednesday, shortly after 5:00 p.m., two young girls were shopping at the Burlington Mall when they were inappropriately touched by the same man.

Neither girl realized the other had been touched until they were proceeding to the register and had a discussion.   The girls, aged 8 and 10, were at the Dollarama store when they were approached by a man who engaged them in conversation about toys. 

The girls moved to another aisle, followed by the man, and while looking at hair products both girls were inappropriately touched by the man. 

 The girls moved further down the aisle and were again touched by the man who had followed. 

 Neither girl realized the other had been touched until they were proceeding to the register and had a discussion.
