ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Police are asking for the public’s help in finding the man who made three teenage girls strip at gun-point in North St. Louis.

The girls were walking in the 4400 block of Elmbank several blocks west of Fairground Park when a man with a semi automatic handgun demanded they take their shirts off.

He allegedly then fondled two of the teens and then told them to take off all of their clothes.  At that point he took their cell phones and fled.

He’s described as a black male in his 20s with medium length braids.  The incident happened on Monday night before midnight.

Anyone with information is asked to call crimestoppers 866-371-TIPS
