The location of the Moe's Southwest Grill in Wilmington, Delaware, where a camera was discovered in a women's bathroom.
A female employee at a Delaware restaurant made a creepy discovery in a women's bathroom, according to authorities.
Delaware State Police said Tuesday a worker at Moe’s Southwest Grill on Kirkwood Highway near Wilmington located a tiny digital camera inside the restroom.
She told police the camera was positioned in a way so that it could record images of women using a specific toilet.
6ABC first reported on the incident. The woman who found the camera told the news station the camera, equipped with a memory card, was attached to a trash can and contained several images and video clips. More from 6ABC:
Sources who say they reviewed the memory card video were alarmed at what they found, describing the images as a disturbing invasion of privacy. They estimated there could be more than 100 individual video clips of women using the restroom.
Among the most troubling images, we were told, were of a little girl believed to be 5 to 11 years old.
Police said they were informed of the camera on March 19 and their investigation is ongoing, with detectives conducting interviews and reviewing the physical evidence.
A request for comment from Moe's corporate office was not immediately returned. However, a spokesperson confirmed to 6ABC there is an ongoing investigation and the franchise owner told the news station they are working with police.
