A 43-year-old man is facing charges after customers allegedly discovered a hidden camera in his Vaughan business.
According to York regional police, a man and woman went to Dragon's Realm on Wednesday, located at 9661 Jane St. The business bills itself as a comics, toys and collectables store.
"The female victim requested to use the washroom and was followed by the owner of the business who entered an adjoining room," police said Thursday in a news release.
"The man felt this was suspicious behaviour and went to the washroom himself to investigate. He discovered a camera set up on a tri-pod, hidden on the other side of the washroom."
The two confronted the owner and contacted York police, who arrested the man without incident. Officers were seen removing a computer from the premises.
Domenic Giorgio of Bolton will face one charge of voyeurism and two counts of assault.
He has been released, but must return to court in Newmarket on Aug. 19.
Police say they fear there may be more alleged victims.
They ask anyone with information to contact:
