An employee at Frankfurt Airport in Germany has been caught secretly filming women in the toilets, media reported Wednesday.
The 50-year-old airport driver, identified as Thomas L, had hidden cameras behind the toilet paper rolls in two cubicles by an airport car park, daily Bild reported.
The cameras were activated by a sensor whenever somebody entered the toilet, and the images were recorded to a memory card which the man allegedly uploaded to his computer, DPA reported.
They reportedly filmed thousands of women using the toilets, during the course of at least three weeks.
Police said the man was caught 10 days ago, and said they were checking whether he had installed more cameras in the airport.
A woman had discovered one of the cameras when she reached for a spare roll of toilet paper, Bild reported.
When police examined the camera's memory card, they reportedly discovered an image of the man filming himself as he set up the hidden device.
Airport operator Fraport dismissed the man with immediate effect, after he reportedly admitted to the deed.
"We are now checking whether the accused disseminated the films," Bild quoted a police spokesman.
