FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (WHDH) — An employee at the Framingham Stop & Shop is off the job after store officials said a camera was found in a bathroom.

The camera was found in an employees-only bathroom at the Stop & Shop on Temple Street. Police said the camera had been there between 6 a.m. and noon on Saturday. It is not clear who found the camera.

“We were shocked to learn of the allegations that a store associate attempted to violate the privacy of other associates at our Temple Street Framingham store and immediately suspended the individual,” Stop & Shop said in a statement.

Shoppers at the grocery store reacted Friday, calling the actions “shocking,” “disgusting,” and “creepy.”

Framingham Police and the Middlesex District Attorney’s office say the matter is under investigation. They are now interviewing employees and other witnesses.
