SINGAPORE – A 52-year-old man is set to be charged on Nov 5 after he allegedly hid a camera in the toilet of a plane during a flight from Japan to Singapore.
In a statement on Nov 4, the police said the man, a British national, will be charged with voyeurism and obstructing the course of justice on board an aircraft.
Officers from the Airport Police Division were alerted at about 5.35pm on Oct 7, the police added.
