NEW GLASGOW, N.S. — Staff at a Nova Scotia medical clinic were surreptitiously filmed while using the washroom, police say.
New Glasgow Regional Police say they arrested a 41-year-old man Tuesday after receiving a complaint about voyeurism at the Westside Medical Centre.
"The incident happened in the staff washroom, and the complaint came from staff members," Const. Ken MacDonald said Wednesday.
He said police were not yet releasing any details about the suspect, who was arrested at the clinic. They did say a man was allegedly filming people "in situations where they had an expectation of privacy."
The force's major crime unit investigated for nine months and have identified the victims, MacDonald said.
"They seized electronic devices and ... as of this time, police identified all the persons in the recordings. That may change, because we're only in that preliminary stage of the investigation," he said.
A man was charged with voyeurism, but has been released with strict conditions to appear in Pictou provincial court on Dec. 5.
