Man facing voyeurism charges after electronic device found in Bedford, N.S., washroom

A 45-year-old man has been charged with voyeurism in Bedford, N.S.

A 45-year-old man is facing voyeurism charges after police found a hidden electronic device in a Lawtons Drugs washroom in Bedford, N.S., two months ago.

According to the Halifax Regional Police, an officer responded to the reported electronic device at the store on 965 Bedford Highway around 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 15.

Police arrested the suspect on Nov. 13. He is scheduled to appear in court in December to face multiple voyeurism charges.

Police say an officer responded to a report of a hidden electronic device in the washroom of the same Lawtons Drugs around 5:20 p.m. on May 31, 2024. The device was found to be inoperable.

No arrests were made in that investigation and it was later closed due to insufficient evidence.
