Up-skirting footage located after vehicle stop; man charged in Eastern Beaches

A man has been charged after allegedly filming women without their consent at an event in Sydney earlier this month.

About 3pm yesterday (Monday 23 March 2020), officers from Eastern Beaches Police Area Command were patrolling Bunnerong Road, Maroubra, when they stopped a Ford Mondeo due to the manner of driving.

After speaking with the driver – a 63-year-old man – police conducted a search of the vehicle and located sim cards and a digital camera.
