If You See This “Hook” In A Public Restroom, Call The Police Immediately – I’m Shocked
Female park and beachgoers beware. There have been several reports of public restrooms in the Florida Keys area that have mysterious hooks inside them.
These hooks may look innocent enough, but each one has a micro camera installed into it to periodically snap photos.
These hooks which resemble coat hangers were placed in stalls and other areas where women would undress. So far, three hooks with cameras in three different locations have been found.
Investigators connected to the Monroe County Sheriff Department have so far found hooks in park bathrooms and stalls and a Circle K gas station. The department has since put out a warning to local businesses and park departments to check bathroom stalls for suspicious objects, particularly these hooks.
Local resident, Taylor Orinstein is repulsed by the idea that someone would want to install these, “it’s disgusting how even someone would want to have a hook inside a bathroom.” This is the last thing any beachgoer wants to be concerned with on what should be a relaxing and carefree day off.
The cameras seem to store their data locally so a female detective has been tasked to potentially identify victims and use evidence stored on the cameras to help solve the case.
However, it is important to stay aware and vigilant of your surroundings. If something looks suspicious or is placed where it should not be, especially in a restroom, be wary.
One giveaway that something such as a hook in a bathroom is not legitimate is its placement. Lt. Alberto Ramirez says, “If you see a hook in the bathroom, it might not be at eye level, it might be a little lower. Something that just doesn’t look right, just call us and we’ll look at it.”
Be aware that the cases so far have been in Northern Florida. If you are in this area, it is extra important to be aware of this. There is likely to be other similar culprits nationwide though, so be on the lookout. Be sure to call your local authorities if you discover something suspicious.
Be sure your friends and family know this can happen to them.
