They may seem like your average plastic coat hook, perfect for hanging your jacket while using the restroom—but authorities are now warning these inconspicuous hooks may be recording your every move.
Three incidents of the coat hook cameras are being investigated after the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office found them located in women’s restrooms in the Florida Keys area.
The three hooks, all rigged with cameras, were mounted in plain sight on the walls in the bathrooms. One was found on May 26 in a beachside bathroom, the second on May 28 in a convenient store bathroom, and the third on May 31 in a public park and beach restroom.
Residents and businesses in the area were sent a written statement by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), warning people to be on the lookout for the objects.
