Police also learned that Sergio Lopez-Sanchez operates a white Ford work van.
Following his arrest and processing at police headquarters, Sergio Lopez-Sanchez released on a criminal summons, police said, pending a future court appearance.
However, Ocean Township Police believe this was not an isolated incident but that Sergio Lopez-Sanchez may have been involved in other similar incidents of indecent exposure on his behalf.
If you have any information that can help in the investigation or if you were a victim or experienced any similar incidents yourself involving Sergio Lopez-Sanchez, you’re asked to call Ocean Township Police Detective Christopher Clune at (732) 531-1800 extension 2242.

“The Ocean Township Police Department would also like to remind township residents to remain vigilant at all times and always be aware of your surroundings in order to identify suspicious behavior and prevent potential criminal activity.”
There was a similar incident but involving a different person in a different town when a Lakewood Township man was arrested and charged for exposing his genitals outside of a Walmart in Brick Township.
