Police are investigating a voyeurism incident that occurred Sunday afternoon in Halifax.
On September 18 at approximately 7:30 p.m., police received a report of a man taking video of a 14-year-old boy who was in the stall next to him in a men’s washroom. The incident occurred at approximately 4:45 p.m. in the men’s washroom near the cinema at Park Lane Mall, located at 5657 Spring Garden Road.
