California - Pervert Plumber Behind Hidden Camera in Starbucks Bathroom

||| Union City Police |||

Union City authorities have released on Wednesday new revelations on the case of a hidden camera found in a Starbucks bathroom in Union City.

The authorities identified the suspect behind the installing of a hidden camera inside a restroom at the Starbucks on the 3200 block of Dyer St. as 35-year-old David Lista. Lista works as a plumber, and authorities suspect he may have also illegally recorded on video unsuspecting victims who he worked for.

Lista also happens to be a registered sex offender. He was arrested late last month in his home in Hayward on multiple offenses, including the Starbucks bathroom hidden camera.

The authorities revealed that investigators searched Lista’s home after securing a search warrant and allegedly discovered evidence that he illegally videotaped people in restrooms. The investigators also found in his possession child pornography, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Social media users expressed disgust with what the suspect did.

Lista was subsequently charged with illegal videotaping, possession of child pornography, and possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Before the home search, officers first went to Starbucks coffee shop in Union City on August 22 to probe the alleged discovery of the hidden camera.

The authorities are now building a stronger case against Lista, and are requesting the public’s help for more relevant information and other helpful tips.
