A 52-year-old British man is due to appear in court after allegedly concealing a camera in an aircraft toilet during a flight from Japan to Singapore and remotely activating its recording function, police have said.

The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, is expected to face charges of voyeurism and obstructing the course of justice over the incident on 7 October, the Singapore Police Force said in a statement on Wednesday.

Officers from the Airport Police Division were alerted to the incident at about 5.35pm that day.

Preliminary investigations found that the man had concealed a camera in one of the aircraft's toilets before leaving and remotely activating its recording function through an application on his mobile phone.

A member of the cabin crew subsequently discovered the hidden device while using the toilet.

She removed it and alerted a colleague, said Singapore Police Force in a press statement.
