Calgary landlord faces voyeurism charges after hidden cameras found in rental units
A Calgary landlord has been arrested and charged in connection with multiple voyeurism incidents, prompting police warnings to tenants and a wider criminal investigation. The case centers on allegations that hidden cameras were installed inside rental properties, and the Calgary landlord voyeurism charges have drawn attention across the city and beyond.
Arrest and charges
Police arrested 41-year-old Sooryong Park, who is also believed to use the name Nick Park, and charged him with one count of break and enter and five counts of voyeurism. Officials said Park was taken into custody on Friday and remains the subject of an active investigation with a scheduled court appearance on Aug. 7, 2026.
Investigators indicated the charges relate to incidents in Calgary and are assessing whether additional charges are warranted as forensic work on seized devices continues.
Discovery of hidden cameras inside units
The investigation began after tenants at a rental property reported finding multiple concealed cameras, including one embedded in a surge protector in a bathroom and another disguised as a smoke detector in a bedroom. Tenants discovered the devices while conducting routine checks and immediately notified police, triggering a criminal probe.
Within days, officers executed a search warrant at a property in the southwest community of Springbank Hill where they seized several electronic storage devices that may contain images or video relevant to the allegations.
Possible links to other properties and cities
Police say they believe similar surveillance devices were installed at a separate rental property in the northwest community of Brentwood. Investigators are examining whether the same individual was responsible for installations at both Calgary sites.
Authorities have also said there are indications the accused may operate as a landlord in other Canadian cities, including Vancouver and Toronto, and they are exploring potential connections to incidents reported outside Calgary.
Allegations of targeted victims
In a public statement, investigators warned that some victims may belong to the Korean community and that the suspect may have targeted women from that demographic. Police emphasized the importance of sensitive, trauma-informed handling of potential victims and encouraged anyone who believes they were recorded without consent to come forward.
Officials noted that confirming whether files contain images of victims and determining the scope of any targeted pattern will depend on digital forensic analysis of the seized storage devices.
Forensic examination and investigative steps
Forensic teams are now processing the seized electronics to recover any recorded material and trace the origin of files, including timestamps, device identifiers and cloud links. Investigators will also search for purchase records, account information and other digital footprints that could establish where and when devices were installed.
Police said the probe will include interviews with tenants, landlords, and witnesses, and that investigators are coordinating with other jurisdictions to determine whether related incidents have been reported elsewhere in Canada.
Tenant safety and legal context
Tenant advocates and legal experts say this case highlights vulnerabilities in rental housing and the need for renters to be vigilant about clandestine surveillance. Landlords in Canada must comply with privacy and tenancy laws, and unauthorized surveillance that records private activity can amount to criminal voyeurism and other offences.
Police recommend tenants regularly inspect smoke detectors, surge protectors and other common devices for signs of tampering, such as unusual wiring, added holes, or unfamiliar hardware. They also urged tenants to lock personal spaces when possible and to report any suspicious devices immediately.
How the public can assist
Calgary police are asking anyone with information about these incidents or similar occurrences to contact the non-emergency line at 403-266-1234. Those who wish to remain anonymous can provide tips to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or by submitting information through the P3 Tips app or the Crime Stoppers website.
Investigators encouraged individuals who suspect they were recorded to preserve any potential evidence, avoid sharing suspected content, and reach out to police to arrange a confidential interview.
The investigation remains active as authorities continue to examine seized devices and follow leads, and police reiterated that anyone with relevant information should come forward to assist with the ongoing probe.
