LANCASTER \u2013 A 38-year-old man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of placing a cellphone camera inside the women\u2019s bathroom at a Starbucks in Lancaster, authorities announced.<\/p>\n

Antonio Serrano<\/strong> was taken into custody after detectives retrieved a photo of Serrano from the cellphone that was allegedly used to secretly record females using the toilet at the Starbucks located at 855 West Avenue K in Lancaster, according to Deputy Joshua Stamsek of the Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station. Serrano told detectives he had been video-taping women and children using the restroom for a couple of months, sheriff’s officials said.<\/p>\n

The victim said the cellphone was under the sink propped up with paper towels to direct the camera at the toilet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The investigation began after a Starbucks customer on July 9 reported that a cellphone was tucked under a sink with its camera pointing toward the toilet inside the single-occupancy women\u2019s restroom.<\/p>\n

The woman told KTLA<\/a> that her 5-year-old son noticed the cellphone, which was propped up by paper towels under the sink.<\/p>\n

\u201cI noticed that he was staring at the sink a little bit perplexed and I asked him what was wrong and he said, \u2018Mommy, why is there a phone under there?’\u201d the woman said in a KTLA interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Lancaster Sheriff\u2019s Station was immediately notified of the incident, and deputies recovered the cellphone, which was taped to the sink\u2019s pipe lining in the restroom, according to Stamsek.<\/p>\n

\u201cLancaster Sheriff Station detectives, with the assistance of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department\u2019s Fraud and Cyber Crimes Bureau, were able to retrieve a photo of a suspect off of the cellphone. Lancaster Station detectives were able to identify the suspect and arrest him for 647(j)(3)(A) P.C. , which is videoing in a bathroom without consent,\u201d Stamsek stated in a news release. \u201cThey also discovered the suspect was in possession of a government document with a false seal and additionally charged him with 472 P.C.\u201d<\/p>\n

Numerous victims<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Serrano, a transient in the Lancaster area, is being held in lieu of $20,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in Antelope Valley Superior Court on Monday, July 20, detectives said in a news release from the Sheriff\u2019s Information Bureau.<\/p>\n

\u201cA preliminary investigation revealed there might be numerous victims and additional locations in the Lancaster and Los Angeles areas, due to the fact that the suspect had additional cell phones and SIM [Subscriber Identity Module] cards in his possession at the time of the arrest,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s news release states.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect also told detectives he has been video-taping women and children using the restroom for [a] couple [of] months. Detectives confirmed this information upon reviewing the videos recovered from the cell phones and SIM cards,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s news release states.<\/p>\n

Lancaster Station detectives are asking for the public\u2019s help in locating additional victims who used the women\u2019s bathroom at the Starbucks, located at 855 West Avenue K, from June through July 9. At this time no additional victims have been identified.<\/p>\n
