Police are investigating a disturbing discovery made by parents at a popular dance studio in Hermosa Beach over the weekend.

Officers were called to the Hermosa School of Dance and Music on the 1100 block of Aviation Boulevard around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, after the concealed cameras were found in wicker baskets placed inside the school’s unisex bathrooms.

It is unknown how long the cameras had been there, but they were immediately removed from the restrooms, which staff, parents and students use, the Hermosa Beach Police Department stated in a news release.

Liliana Somma, who has owned the dance school for over 25 years, said she was shocked and heartbroken over the discovery. Somma said she is working with police to find out who is responsible and has hired a company to perform a sweep of the studio.

“We just installed devices that now will pick up any cameras, and mothers can buy these and bring them, even when they go to the mall, in a fitting room … you just need to be aware,” Somma told KTLA.

Police have yet to make any arrests or identify any suspects in the incident at the dance school, where students range from 2 to 18 years old.

“HBPD detectives are actively investigating all available leads to identify and hold accountable the individual(s) responsible for this disturbing act,” police said.

Anyone with information was asked to contact the Police Department at 310-318-0360.
