Peeping Tom landlord held

KUALA LUMPUR: A landlord who fitted spy cameras in the three bathrooms of a house he rented out to female students has been detained.

The cameras were fixed near the fluorescent lamps in the bathrooms at his double-storey house in Taman Bullion Mewah, Jinjang here.

One of the students, in her early 20s, who rents the house with 18 others, went to the bathroom, looked up and noticed something strange in the light socket on Saturday.

She told her fellow housemates when they returned from college. The girls informed a neighbour who opened the socket and discovered the cameras.

The cameras were discovered in the bathrooms of the house (right) on Saturday.
A quick check revealed two more cameras in the other bathrooms. The girls made a police report.

A police team went to the house and recovered the cameras which were believed to have transmitted the images remotely.

The girls called the landlord under the pretext that something was wrong with the house. Police arrested the man when he turned up.

Sentul OCPD Asst Comm K. Kumaran confirmed that the landlord, a 34-year-old interior designer, was arrested at midnight.

He said the man from Gombak would be remanded until Friday.
