Capture of the Suspect Behind Pen-Shaped Spy Cameras in Boardwalk Bathrooms
Authorities have successfully apprehended the culprit responsible for planting pen-shaped spy cameras inside boardwalk bathrooms along the Jersey Shore. The suspect, identified as Harold Perkins, has been charged with six counts each of invasion of privacy and endangering the welfare of a child by manufacturing child pornography.
Perkins was taken into custody at his residence in Philadelphia on June 20th, as confirmed by the police.
According to authorities, Perkins surreptitiously placed multiple pen-shaped cameras on the floors of public bathrooms situated on the Ocean City boardwalk.
The initial discovery of a hidden camera was made on June 12th behind a trash receptacle in one of the bathrooms. Subsequent inspections of other facilities led to the uncovering of additional spy cameras.
Perkins is currently awaiting extradition to New Jersey and has not made any public statements regarding the allegations.
Law enforcement officials have yet to disclose the number of victims affected by the illicit surveillance.
