Police in southern Spain say they have arrested a doctor they suspect of using a pen camera to secretly film his female colleagues as they were undressing.

He would place the pen in the pocket of his white coat which he would then strategically place in a locker room of the clinic just before female employees came in to change, a police spokesperson in the city of Seville told AFP.

The 25-year-old doctor was discovered by a colleague who noticed the unusual pen and who then watched the images on it of women undressing. The colleague then informed the police, who arrested him on charges of invasion of privacy.

The spokesperson said the man was "a bit obsessed with a woman who worked at the clinic," located in the town of Utrera, outside Seville.
