Police say a man recorded four women changing clothes in a south Tulsa Target. The woman who says she caught him with a camera talked to News On 6.

Cody Bono said she saw something that looked similar to a pen sticking out from the top of her fitting room. She said it immediately looked like something from her son's spy kit, and that's when her adrenaline kicked in.

Bono is a hairstylist in south Tulsa. She often takes shopping trips to the Target near 101st Street and Memorial, but after Wednesday's events, her trips will never be the same.

"It was really shocking, I think for someone to do something like that and you to be so thrown off guard," she said.

Bono said she walked into the co-ed fitting room at Target and went to the first stall with an open door. That's where she said her first encounter happened with 22-year-old Brian Heck.

She said Heck was standing in his underwear, and from there things started to get weird.

"He was just standing there and I was freaked out, because he didn't say or do anything--he just kind of stood up like, 'Hi,'" Bono said.

To avoid Heck, Bono said she went to a fitting room on the opposite end to try on her clothes.

Within one minute, she saw a pen-like object moving around the top of the stall.

"When I saw the camera, my adrenaline started pumping, I threw on my shirt, threw my purse on my shoulder and kicked the door in next to me," Bono said.

She said adrenaline caused her to push Heck back, steal the camera and run to security.

"He was begging me not to, just like, 'Please don't. Don't tell them.' Are you kidding me? I can't believe you just did this and you have the audacity to ask me not to say anything," Bono said.

The police report shows Heck is a University of Tulsa student.

Tulsa Police recovered a camera and say the video shows four different women in the fitting room.

Investigators believe the recordings happened Wednesday evening, between 5:00 and 6:15, and on July 5.

"I was just trying to figure out what was going on and why he was doing it to me, and was he doing this prior to me walking into the fitting room?" Bono said.

Bono said she's glad Target has a good return policy, because she won't be using its fitting rooms for awhile. She said, after this, she will never let her daughters go into any dressing room by themselves again.
