According to police spokesperson Christos Andreou, an administrator at Nicosia General Hospital notified law enforcement authorities after discovering a hidden camera in a female locker room.

Police officers rushed Monday morning to the hospital where they located a camera in a locker room, which was reserved for female nurses according to local media.
