Man arrested after camera found in Gucci restroom

A female employee of Gucci discovered a camera hidden in the restroom of the store at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa on Thursday morning, police said.

According to authorities, a male employee at the store hid a miniature digital camera in a box and placed it in the store’s employee restroom around 9:45 a.m. that day.

The female employee saw the box and then discovered the camera pointed at her, Costa Mesa police spokesman Lt. Greg Scott said.

The woman disabled the camera and informed store management, according to police.

Managers watched to see who would recover the camera and notified security when a 45-year-old male employee went into the restroom to get it, Scott said.

Costa Mesa police officers responded and arrested Robert Roleson of Santa Ana, Scott said.

Officers cited Roleson for invasion of privacy and released him at the scene, according to police.
