An 18-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after authorities discovered a hidden recording device in a family restroom at Newport Centre in Jersey City.

Andy Cardenas, of Jersey City, was charged with invasion of privacy.

The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit began investigating in August after a woman reported finding a black recording device in the JCPenney family restroom. Investigators identified Cardenas as a suspect and arrested him at the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office in Secaucus.

Cardenas was released on a summons pending his first court appearance, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 22.
