A parishioner discovered a hidden camera in the men’s bathroom of St. Francis Catholic Church in Sherwood, police said Friday.
The camera was disguised as a power outlet and positioned on the wall next to the toilet. It was found April 26 in a bathroom near the chapel, according to police.
The parishioner then handed the camera over to the church’s priest, said Sherwood Police Capt. Ty Hanlon.
Officers began investigating when the priest reported the camera stolen on May 20, Hanlon said. The device turned up missing before the priest could turn it over to authorities, he said.
Officers have done several interviews and searches during their investigation into the disappearance of the device. They have not identified a suspect.
