    Thanks for all your comments everybody, I'll take them to my boss for further discussion. I think possibly sending out a memo saying that certain incidents have occured and and if they don't stop then the company will look into monitoring the situation by cctv for data protection purposes etc and see if that puts an end to it.

I would stop what you are doing right now, regardless of your perceptions. You've gone about it all the wrong way.
