Police have arrested a man wanted after a cellphone was found recording in the washroom of a Tim Hortons in Hamilton’s east end.

Hamilton police Const. Indy Bharaj previously told Global News the camera was found by patrons around 11 a.m. Thursday in the 30 Queenston Road location at Cochrane Road.

“The complainant reported they had went to use the female restroom with their child, when they observed a cellphone obscured by toilet paper on the floor of the stall,” Bharaj explained.

“Police attended and seized the cellphone, which was still recording at the time.”

In a news release on Monday, police said an arrest warrant had been issued for 27-year-old Hamilton resident Daniel St. Amour.
