Foreign tourist arrested at Malaga Fair for hiding spy cameras to film people going to the toilet

As this behaviour struck them as strange, the officers decided to approach him and saw him hurriedly try to put away something that looked like a camera when he noticed them.

The officers inspected the area, using torches, and found five cameras hidden beneath parked cars, in a location close to the fairground bars where people often go to relieve themselves.

They then searched the man and his rucksack, and found several computer devices and 50 memory cards. The officers confiscated mobile phones, memory cards, cameras, pen drives and hard disks.

After arresting the tourist, who was due to fly back to his own country within a few days, the police have opened an investigation and are currently examining the computer material. At present, it is not clear whether he intended to keep the photos for his own use or distribute them to third parties.
