New Zealand - A 25-year-old man has been charged with covertly filming unsuspecting Starbucks' customers with their pants down. Two weeks ago a staff member of Rotorua's Starbucks cafe discovered an elaborate hidden camera operation in a toilet brush holder in a unisex toilet.
Detective Warwick Webber of Rotorua police said a 25-year-old Rotorua man had been arrested on Friday. He was facing five charges of making inappropriate visual recordings.
Police also seized the man's computer and storage devices during a search of his home on Friday. They did not believe any other toilets were involved.
Webber emphasised Starbucks was the victim and hoped people would not boycott the cafe franchise giant. (more)
