Haifa police have arrested a salon owner on suspicion of installing a hidden camera in a room used for laser hair removal treatments for women. The investigation was launched following a complaint filed several days ago. Police raided the business, seized cameras and recording equipment, and arrested the owner. During questioning, the suspect claimed the camera had been installed years earlier when the room was used for other treatments such as pedicure and manicure, and that its failure to be removed was a mistake, not an act intended to violate clients' privacy. The court found reasonable suspicion but ordered the suspect released to house arrest under restrictive conditions.
