Plymouth Twp. Police Investigate Fake Cameras Placed Near Ballot Box

PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, MI — Police are trying to identify a man who may have tried to intimidate voters by placing fake cameras on a light pole near a drop box outside a Plymouth Township voting station, according to multiple reports citing police.

The fake cameras, which worked like a motion detector, would flash when someone walked up to the drop box outside Risen Christ Lutheran Church, 46250 Ann Arbor Road, according to police.

Police believe the fake cameras were placed on the light poles sometime between Feb. 17 and 25, which were the township's nine days of early voting for Michigan's U.S. Presidential Primary, according to police.

Plymouth Township Police are investigating the case with the State of Michigan Investigators and Special Agents from the Michigan Attorney General’s Office.

Anyone with information about the person who installed devices at Risen Christ Lutheran Church was asked to call the Plymouth Township Police Department at 734-354-3250.
