A Korean landlord in his 40s has been arrested after allegedly installing molkas inside rental homes to secretly film tenants, including Korean female international students. Police believe the suspect operated rental properties not only in Calgary but also in Vancouver and Toronto, and have expanded their investigation.
Calgary police arrested Nick Park (41) on July 10 and charged him with secretly installing small cameras in bathrooms and bedrooms to illegally record tenants. Park has been charged with one count of breaking and entering and five counts of voyeurism, and is scheduled to appear in court on August 7.
Police believe Park operated multiple rental properties not only in Calgary but also in cities with large Korean communities, such as Vancouver and Toronto, and mainly targeted women in the Korean community. The investigation is ongoing.
Molkas found in power strips and smoke detectors
The crimes came to light on June 8, when a tenant living in one of Park's rental homes in Calgary discovered small hidden cameras concealed inside a bathroom power strip and a bedroom smoke detector.
The tenant immediately informed the other residents, who then searched their own rooms and also found hidden cameras. They reported the discoveries to the police.
On June 12, police searched Park's home on the 200 block of Springborough Way S.W. in Calgary and seized multiple electronic storage devices.
Police then searched another rental property owned by Park on the 3800 block of Brentwood Road N.W., where they found similar illegal recording equipment installed. All of the related devices were confiscated.
