Online court records show Cole Jeffrey Petrie facing five counts of criminal harassment and five counts of making indecent communications.

The 30-year-old was taken into custody at the home on Humpback Road without incident, police said.

'Through the course of the investigation, police identified other female victims,' the statement reads. Mounties said the charges against Petrie involved four separate investigations with four different alleged victims. 'Investigators are seeking any other potential victims who may have been targeted by this individual,' said Cpl. Alex Bérubé, spokesperson for the B.C. RCMP, in the statement. Anyone with information to share is asked to contact Sooke RCMP at 250-642-5241, police said. According to court records, Petrie is not in custody.
