Hidden Cameras Found In Bathrooms Of Popular Fairfax County Cafe

Police ere are investigating a pair of hidden cameras found in bathrooms of a Falls Church cafe earlier this month.

The discoveries were made in the bathrooms of Northside Social on Park Ave., city police said.

A customer was the one who noticed a pen-like device placed under the sink and facing a toilet in one of the eatery's first-floor restrooms, authorities said. The customer turned the device over to a restaurant employee. An identical device was found in a similar hiding spot inside the adjacent first floor restroom immediately after, police said.

The City of Falls Church Police Department was notified about the devices on Monday, May 13, whereby officers responded to the restaurant and recovered the devices.

The cameras contain multiple recordings of victims using the restrooms on Saturday, May 11, likely between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., according to police. Investigators want to identify all potential victims who may have been recorded by the cameras.
