UPDATE: Man Arrested for Unlawful Imaging
LYNCHBURG, Va. – The investigation into unlawful imaging remains active and ongoing. The Lynchburg Police Department (LPD) has identified several additional locations where evidence suggests victims may have been unlawfully recorded. These locations include: Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, Target, Plato’s Closet, Mission Thrift, Millie’s Café, and The Muse Coffee Company.
While exact dates for incidents that may have occurred at these additional businesses are still being determined, this is a serious matter. Our primary goal is to ensure justice for all individuals affected. We understand the concern this may cause, as such we are conducting a thorough investigation. We are also committed to working with these affected businesses and our law enforcement partners.
At this time, we are asking anyone who used the changing rooms or bathrooms at the affected businesses between February 1, 2026, and March 12, 2026, to complete the secure and confidential LPD Victim Identification Form. We anticipate providing more specific dates as our review of the evidence progresses.
