A 56-year-old man has been sacked from his job at a go-cart race circuit and given 80 hours community service for installing a spy camera in the ladies’ toilets.

The man placed the camera in September 2010 and used it to record women visiting the toilets over a six month period. His action was discovered when he went on holiday.

The man had a collection of two dvds and 16 video tapes of footage. All have been destroyed and police have not attempted to trace the victims, the AD reported.
