Overview
- Police began an investigation after a shopper reported a hidden bathroom camera at the Village Discount Outlet in Logan Square, and officers recovered the device March 5.
- The camera was concealed under the sink, wrapped in cardboard and masking tape, and fixed to a duct-taped mounting arm, a police report says.
- The woman’s husband removed the device, sealed it in a clear plastic bag, and told officers he believed a memory card was inside.
- Police have not said if the camera was operating or if any video exists, and the case remains open.
- The report treats the placement of the device as a deceptive practice and codes it as a sex offense, and the chain has not answered questions as other Chicago-area bathroom camera cases have recently led to indictments.
