Story summary

On Friday, at around 17:11, Hong Kong police were alerted to a suspected pinhole camera attached with black tape to the false ceiling of a changing room at a 24/7 Fitness gym in Sha Tin. Following this tip, officers discovered three suspected pinhole cameras across three cubicles in the same facility on Lek Yuen Street. The case was classified as voyeurism by police.

The next day, Saturday, Hong Kong authorities arrested a local man, Fung Kwok-wang, aged 34, who is accused of installing the hidden cameras. He was detained in Sha Tin and remained in custody pending further investigation into the alleged voyeurism incident.

On Tuesday, Fung appeared before Sha Tin Court where he was granted bail of HK$2,000 (US$255) on condition that he stays within Hong Kong, avoids contact with prosecution witnesses, and does not go near the gym branch in question. His case is scheduled to be heard again on November 25.
