Spy camera found in toilet

Police have been called in after a hidden camera was found in a womans' toilet at Cambridge University.

The miniature web-cam device was discovered at the department of experimental psychology.

It allowed someone outside the toilets to view what was going on inside.

Staff who may have been filmed have been offered counselling.

Immediate action

A university spokesman said on Friday the camera was discovered two weeks ago.

"Immediate action was taken and the camera was removed," he said.

"This is a very serious matter, members of staff have been informed and the services of the university's staff counsellor are available to anyone who wishes to consult her.

"The matter has been referred to the police and it would not be appropriate to say more at this time."
