Police are looking for a sexual battery suspect who grabbed the buttocks of two Glendale High School students last week before fleeing in a getaway car, police said.

Surveillance footage shows the same suspect “sneaking up” behind the girls, grabbing their buttocks and running into a waiting car, an early 2000s, white, four-door BMW, according to Glendale Police Sgt. Robert William. Police have not identified the getaway driver.

The incidents occurred on campus on July 12 and last Friday, both before 8 a.m.
