According to Daejeon Daedeok-gu and Daedeok Police Station on the 21st, illegal filming equipment was found in the women's restroom on the 3rd floor of the annex building of the district office on the afternoon of the previous day (20th). It was reported that a public official discovered a camera installed inside a toilet paper case and reported it to the district office and police.

After receiving the report, Daedeok-gu investigated all restrooms within the district office and found three more cameras in the women's restrooms on the 3rd and 4th floors of the annex building.

The police apprehended Mr. A, a male public official in his 30s affiliated with the district office, through analysis of closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage within the district office.
