RCMP Says No Cameras Were Found After TikToker Claims She Was 'Being Watched' In BC Airbnb

The RCMP has discovered that devices found by a group of friends at an Airbnb in B.C. were not in fact hidden cameras.

In April, Kennedy Calwell posted a TikTok claiming that she and her friends found a hidden camera in their Airbnb bathroom. Calwell said in the video that the group of friends went to the police, and the Sunshine Coast RCMP confirmed to Narcity that they were investigating.

The investigation has since found that the devices that the group of friends thought were cameras were "in fact electrical outlets and did not contain cameras, lenses or any type of storage/recording devices."

TikTokers were shocked by the video at the time it was posted. "OMG my worst nightmare," one person said in the comments.

Calwell speaks to the camera in the video, saying that 15 people were staying in a house for her friend's birthday, and they found out they were "being watched."

One friend went around the Airbnb looking for cameras after getting the unsettling feeling there may be some hidden in the house.

She added that they did call the police, who came and took the devices.

Calwell also encouraged people to check their Airbnbs for hidden cameras.

In a statement to Narcity, Airbnb said they "ban hidden cameras." They had suspended the listing due to the allegation, and investigated the incident.

Since the RCMP found that the devices were not in fact cameras, Airbnb has reinstated the Host.
