Arrest Made After Hidden Camera Found in Plano Rec Center

Hidden camera was only up for an hour or so, police say

Plano police have arrested a man they say installed a hidden camera inside a Plano recreation center.

Investigators arrested and charged 43-year-old Christopher Scott Furber with improper photography or visual recording  at about 10:30 a.m. Monday.

Police said the recording device was disguised to look like an air freshener and was only up for about an hour before someone spotted it. The device was attached to the wall next to a shower in a family changing area at the Oak Point Recreation Center.

Plano police said only one family was photographed by the camera -- and they were notified by authorities after the camera was found.

Police said they've checked every recreation center in Plano for other hidden cameras and alerted neighboring cities to check their bathrooms for similar devices.

Furber, from Garland, turned himself in to the Collin County Detention Center Monday. He was free on $25,000 bond Monday night.
