FLAGLER COUNTY, FL–
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has arrested the President of a Condominium Association after he reportedly installed a video camera inside of a resident’s bedroom without her permission.
The discovery was made at a condo inside of the Matanzas Shores community.
Authorities say they received a call on Aug. 3rd from a woman stating that she spent the weekend at the condo, and as she was packing up to leave, she discovered a plugged-in USB camera hidden inside of an indoor flower pot.
The woman says the flower pot was located in the master bedroom where she had been sleeping and that it focused on the bedroom.
Officials removed the camera from the room and found that it contained footage of at least two people in various stages of undress inside the condo.
Detectives also found footage of the suspect who set up the hidden camera testing it in his own condo.
The suspect has been identified as 59-year-old Robert Orr.
Officials say he is the President of the Las Brisas Condominium Association.
“This pervert installed video cameras in a condo that he was a caretaker for so that he could view people inside without their knowledge or consent,” said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly. “It’s a disgusting invasion of privacy.”
The owner of the condo told authorities that she occasionally lets people stay at the condo for short periods of time, and because she lives out of state, Orr is allowed to enter the condo to make sure everything is still in good condition.
While searching Orr’s condo, detectives found multiple spy cameras and other electronic devices.
Authorities are now suggesting that those who live in the association and allow Orr access to their property, check their belongings for hidden cameras.
