A 31-year-old man from Teleorman County was detained on Saturday after attempting to cheat on the entrance examination at the "Vasile Lascăr" Police Officers Academy in Câmpina, according to ProTV News.

Representatives of the Prahova County Police Inspectorate (IPJ) announced on Sunday that the man had entered the examination room with a complete system for remote transmission and reception of information: a Wi-Fi device, a small video camera, a transmitter and a hidden earpiece.

The candidate allegedly filmed the examination questions and transmitted them to a person at a distance, from whom he received answers via the hidden earpiece, according to Agerpres.

"The attempted fraud was discovered by the examination commission, and following investigations carried out by police officers, the 31-year-old man from Teleorman County was detained for 24 hours, being investigated for the offence of disclosure of secret or non-public service information," officials from IPJ Prahova stated.

Investigators are continuing their inquiries to identify the person who transmitted the examination answers to the candidate via the audio device, as well as to establish the entire criminal activity. The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of the prosecutor from the Court Prosecutor's Office of Câmpina.
