Hidden cameras found in Tour Down Under village's portable toilets

POLICE have found "inappropriate" images on one of two hidden cameras found inside portable toilets at the Tour Down Under village.

POLICE say they found "inappropriate images'' on the memory card of a hidden camera taken from the portable male toilet at the Tour Down Under village in Victoria Square yesterday.

Tiny cameras hidden inside clothes hooks on the back of the toilet doors were found in the male and female toilet blocks.

SA Police e-crime section officers say they have downloaded images from the camera taken from the male toilets but the other camera was faulty.

"The card from the camera located in the female toilet was faulty and nothing can be retrieved from this,'' a police spokesman said

TDU officials declined to comment while the police investigation continued.

Police were called to the TDU village about 5pm yesterday after a member of the public found a hidden camera in the portable male toilets.

The cameras were hidden inside a black plastic coat hook, which contained a USB plug on the back and a spy hole at its base.

The device was removed before a second camera was also found in the female toilets.

Both cameras were found to have been off and not transmitting at the time.

Because the toilets are portable, it is unknown how long the hidden camera has been there.

No other similar devices were found in the remaining toilets and police believe there is no ongoing risk to the public.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
