The suspect who set up a “spy camera” in a White Marsh Mall restroom caught himself on camera, and now police are seeking the public’s help in identifying him.

The camera was found by a patron in the family restroom of the food court area in White Marsh Mall at about 6:30 p.m. on December 23.

It was secured with electrical tape to a partition dividing two lavatory areas, pointing toward one of the facilities. The camera and recording equipment, including an SD card containing video footage, were turned over to police.

Upon reviewing the video footage officers were able to determine there were very few people caught on video, indicating the camera was there for only a short period of time. Also caught on video is the perpetrator, who unintentionally recorded himself securing the camera to the stall partition. A portion of that video can be viewed below.

Detectives from the Baltimore County Police Crimes Against Children Unit are continuing this investigation and are asking anyone who recognizes this suspect to contact police at 410-307-2020.
