WASHINGTON — DC police have arrested a Maryland man for allegedly placing a hidden camera in a woman's closet in Southwest D.C.

Back in June, the suspect identified as 41-year-old Eddy Giron of Hyattsville was hired to perform home improvements and remolding work at a home in the 1100 block of 3rd Street Southwest.

Giron allegedly placed a hidden camera inside of the residence without the victims' knowledge, according to police. One of the women discovered the hidden camera and contacted DC Police. 

A police report said the mini camera was set up in the closet. When police reviewed footage from the camera, Giron was clearly seen setting it up in the closet.

Giron was operating as a self-employed contractor in this incident, police said in a press release.

Months later, on Oct. 26, Giron of Hyattsville of Maryland was arrested and charged with Voyeurism.

Anyone who may have any additional information or believes they may have been a victim is encouraged to contact the police at 202-727-9099.
