Police reported someone found the camera in the family restroom of the food court area in White Marsh Mall on December 23.
The camera was pointing towards a toilet after being secured with electrical tape to a partition dividing two bathroom areas.
Police recovered the camera and recording equipment, along with the SD card with video footage.
After reviewing the footage, police say only a few people were seen on the video, meaning it had been there for a short period of time. Police also found video footage of the suspect setting up the camera in the bathroom.
