New Hampshire Man Disguises Camera as Fire Alarm in Florida Beach Public Restroom – Crime Online

A New Hampshire man was arrested in Chicago last week and charged with putting a hidden camera in a public restroom at a Florida beach.

Dana Alan Caruso, 58, was arrested on August 19 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, the Sanibel Police Department said, and is awaiting extradition back to Florida.

Sanibel Public Works Department employees noticed a new fire alarm on July 28 installed in the family restroom at Bowman’s Beach Park. The employees double checked with the Public Works Department and confirmed that it had not been installed by another staff member, then contacted the police departm.

Officers confirmed that the device was not a fire alarm and suspect it contained a recording device. After obtaining a search warrant, they found a video camera inside.
