Hidden Camera Catches Arlington Heights Man Accused of Taking Nude Videos of Neighbor

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL―A man accused of capturing nude videos of his neighbor with a hidden camera was caught thanks to what some might call poetic justice.

Samuel Gadamandla, 52, of Arlington Heights, was arrested Monday and charged with residential burglary and unlwaful video recording after his neighbor's husband set up his own video sting and allegedly caught Gadamandla in the act, the Arlington Heights Post reports.

Gadamandla was being held on $175,000 bond after a hearing Wednesday, and his next court date is May 19.

The victim's husband called police after finding a camera in a bathroom vent and found pictures of his wife on its memory stick, the Post reports. The husband then set up video surveillance in the apartment, which caught Gadamandla entering the residence to try and change the battery on his hidden camera, the report added.

After Gadamandla was arrested, authorities found thousands of photos and videos of his neighbor on computer equipment in Gadamandla's home, according to the Post.
