A dentist has been charged with voyeurism after a camera was found in a washroom used by patients and staff at a Pickering dental office, according to Durham Regional Police.

Philip Willenburg, 53, of Toronto, was charged on Dec. 11 after an employee at the dental office, located on Kingston Rd., saw the camera and called police.

“The (camera) did not capture any patients on that day,” said Durham Regional Police spokesperson, Sgt. Nancy van Rooy. “However, it is an open, active investigation, so we’re trying to determine if this is a lone incident or if this has happened in the past.”

Willenburg was released from custody on the same day on the promise to appear for a future hearing.

Police have also seized computers and video recording equipment as they continue to investigate.
