Camera found in female sailors' shower

[CShine]

Navy investigators are searching for the person who hid a small wireless video camera above a shower stall for female sailors aboard the San Diego-based command ship Coronado, Navy officials said.

The camera, about 2 inches across and attached to an air vent, was discovered April 14 when a sailor noticed it while she was showering. The camera's battery was dead and a search of nearby compartments failed to locate a receiver, said spokesman Cdmr. Scott Gureck.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Navy's 7th Fleet have interviewed several sailors and civilians aboard the ship, which left San Diego for Japan on March 5. No arrests have been made, Gureck added.

The miniature cameras are readily available on the Internet and at security equipment stores. Equipped with a built-in transmitter, the cameras can send video signals short distances to a receiver hooked to a television or VCR.
