Discreetly, he activated the video recording function on his mobile phone, placing it under the table with his arm resting on his lap, directing the camera towards the victim. Unbeknownst to her, he recorded at least two upskirt videos.
Alert to his actions, two customers nearby noticed and promptly informed an assistant branch manager at the food court. The manager documented evidence of the man’s actions through photographs and immediately notified the victim. Subsequently, she made a police report.
