POLICE are hunting a suspected perv after a spy camera was found in a supermarket filled with illegal ‘up-skirt footage’.

Cops were alerted after shocked security staff came across the device in a branch of Tesco at the Brookfield Centre, Cheshunt, Herts, on May 20.

After examining the camera they found the attached USB storage device was filled of dodgy movies of a “voyeuristic nature” focusing on seemingly unsuspecting female members of the public.

It is now thought the gadget was attached to a man’s shoe as he walked around, allowing him to film up the skirts of nearby women.

Cops have now released an image of a man they want to speak to in order to assist them with their enquiries into the incident.

A spokesman for Herts police said: “When security staff examined the content stored on the device, they discovered footage of a voyeuristic nature that appeared to have been taken without the knowledge of those being filmed.

“The man pictured is believed to have been in the store around the time the device was found and may have information that could assist the investigation.”

Although the camera was found in Tesco, it is unclear if the footage was actually filmed in the store or at another location.

The incident comes roughly a year after a serial sex pest was caught pleasuring himself through a hole in his trouser pocket as he walked around the women’s lingerie section of clothing store in West London.

Victor Busby, 25, was spotted by a suspicious CCTV operator at TK Maxx in Hammersmith with his hands “moving aggressively” in his pockets, according to .

 The camera was found at a Tesco store at the Brookfield Centre in Cheshunt, Herts

After arresting him, cops discovered he was actually subject to a three-year community order for exposing himself to a young mum in Primark – just across the street.

He was arrested after being spotted deliberately brushing up against female shoppers in the store.

The builder and part-time DJ pleaded guilty to outraging public decency and was handed a four-month suspended sentence, a £150 fine and ordered to carry out 60-hours community service.
