A pinhole camera was installed in a women's restroom at the National Taipei University of Education. After students discovered it and reported it to the school, police took over the investigation and arrested a 63-year-old man today. Preliminary investigations indicate the man is an outsider living in Tamsui, New Taipei City. The details of the crime are still under investigation.
The National Taipei University of Education stated today that it received a report yesterday regarding an illegally installed pinhole camera in a restroom on the 4th floor of the Duxing Building. The site was immediately sealed off, and police were notified to collect evidence. The equipment has been seized by the police, and an investigation is underway.
The Da'an Precinct of the Taipei City Police Department released a press statement this afternoon, noting that they received a report around 6:00 PM on the 28th. The school reported finding a suspected recording device in a campus restroom. Officers were dispatched to conduct tests and initiate evidence collection and investigation.
It is understood that the Da'an Precinct took the case very seriously and received assistance from the Taipei City Criminal Investigation Corps. Through active investigation by a special task force and the review of a large amount of surveillance footage, it was discovered that a man wearing a hat and mask might be involved. Expanded investigation revealed that the individual is a 63-year-old man who is not a local resident and is an outsider to the school.
After securing relevant evidence, the task force determined that the man was heavily involved. Investigations show that the man rode a motorcycle onto campus on the morning of the 28th and subsequently went to the women's restroom to install the pinhole camera. The task force located the man's residence in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, and conducted a search, seizing computers, mobile phones, and memory cards.
The Da'an Precinct stated that they have swiftly apprehended the suspect and will continue to investigate to clarify the motive. After police questioning, he will be referred to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office on charges of violating privacy laws.
The National Taipei University of Education stated on its official website that it strongly condemns the illegal act that severely infringed upon the privacy of teachers and students. The school has immediately expanded its investigation and, starting today, has arranged for a professional team to conduct comprehensive technical sweeps of all buildings on campus to ensure nothing is missed. The frequency of professional sweeps, previously conducted once a month, will be immediately increased, and irregular, high-density daily safety patrols will be implemented.
