Detectives are asking the public for information after an investigation led to the arrest of a Covina auto-shop owner on charges involving child sexual abuse material.
Ontario Police Department investigators arrested 39-year-old Bryce Neighbors of Upland on September 30, according to a police statement reported by the Los Angeles Times. Authorities said the arrest followed an investigation by the department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Police allege Neighbors concealed cameras in a bathroom at the Covina business to record people without their knowledge and also used a camera hidden in a shoe. Investigators said they are trying to identify additional possible victims or witnesses.
The Times reported that Neighbors was booked at West Valley Detention Center on multiple felony charges involving possession and commercial distribution of child sexual abuse material. San Bernardino County jail records showed that he posted bail and was released October 1.
