Hidden cameras found in bathrooms on Ocean City, New Jersey, boardwalk; police investigating
Police in Ocean City, New Jersey, are investigating after multiple hidden cameras were found in public bathrooms along the Boardwalk this week.
On Thursday, officers responded to a restroom at 6th Street and the Boardwalk in the Jersey Shore destination and spoke with a woman who found a hidden camera.
All other public restrooms on the boardwalk were then searched and “several additional cameras” were found in restrooms at 10th Street and 11th Street, according to police.
Fallon Conway, who found the first device, shared pictures showing that it looked like a pen or marker.
Police told CBS News Philadelphia these are family-style restrooms, which are often where beachgoers change before going onto the sand or after leaving the beach.
Officers will now be stationed at the restrooms and conducting additional checks, police said.
No charges or arrests have been announced yet. Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at 609-525-9131 or email Lt. Dan Lancaster at DLancaster@ocnj.us.
“I want to assure the public that our detectives will use every available resource to find the person who placed these cameras, and any suspect will be prosecuted to the fullest,” Mayor Jay Gillian said in a statement.

From Camden and Cherry Hill to Trenton and the Jersey Shore, what about life in New Jersey do you want WHYY News to cover? Let us know.
Alina Habba announced on social media Monday that she is stepping down as U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
In a social media post, Habba said she was stepping down to “protect the stability and integrity of the office.”
“Do not mistake compliance for surrender,” she said. “This decision will not weaken the Justice Department and it will not weaken me.”
Habba, who previously served on President Donald Trump’s personal legal team, has been the state’s top federal prosecutor since March. When her 120-day interim term ended in July, federal district judges in New Jersey chose not to extend her appointment and instead selected her deputy, Desiree Leigh Grace, to replace her.

3 killed in NJ Turnpike crash, officials say
Three people were killed Sunday afternoon when a tractor-trailer crashed into their vehicle as it was parked on a shoulder of the New Jersey Turnpike, officials said.
The fatal crash happened around 1:30 p.m. at milepost 64.6 in East Windsor, said New Jersey State Police Trooper Christopher Postorino.
A GMC SUV that had been driven by Elin R. Waithe, 44, of Bloomfield, was parked on the right shoulder. Waithe was standing outside the vehicle while three passengers remained inside, Postorino said.
The rear of the SUV was then struck by a Peterbilt tractor-trailer driven by Dmitriy I. Kara, 33, of Philadelphia, Postorino said.
Waithe and the front-seat passenger — Quacy Waithe, 47, of Bloomfield — were killed, along with one of the two juvenile passengers in the SUV’s back seat, Postorino said.
Kara sustained minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital, Postorino said.
Information on the other juvenile passenger was not immediately provided.
The crash remains under investigation, Postorino said.
