A 34-year-old man is in custody, charged with mischief, after police investigated several reports of rocks being thrown through the windows of homes near Victoria.
The West Shore RCMP say the spree of destruction occurred in the early-morning hours of May 25 in Colwood.
Officers responded to the 3000 block of Clement Road at 12:37 a.m. after a rock was thrown through the window of a home, according to a statement from the local RCMP detachment.
As the investigation progressed, more complaints poured in about rocks thrown through windows and vehicles damaged in the area, including on nearby Allandale and Owens roads, police said.
A suspect was arrested at approximately 7:30 a.m. the same day.
Court records show Christopher Elliot, born in 1991, was charged on May 26 with one count of mischief to property over $5,000.
He was held in custody pending a court appearance scheduled for June 3.
'This arrest was the result of tireless work by the front-line officers and the collaborative support from West Shore's Investigative Support Team, whose efforts led to the identification of additional victims and witnesses,' Sgt. Kevin Shaw said in the statement Thursday.
'This is a great example of those two units working together to investigate a rash of damage to vehicles and property in support of the eventual arrest.'
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and are asking anyone with information about the incidents to contact investigators at 250-474-2264.

In a news release on Thursday, Halton Regional Police said Ehsan Ansari was taken into custody the previous day and charged with two counts of failing to comply with the release order. Ansari, who operated a Holistic centre in Milton, has been prohibited from continuing his services while he awaits the outcome of his case. 'Investigators determined Ansari has continued to operate a holistic centre in Milton under a new business name, 'Sunnah Hijama,'' police allege. Ansari was first arrested last year after a woman who visited his centre, 'Holistic Hijama,' was sexually assaulted during her visit. He was charged with two counts of sexual assault. The charges have not been tested in court. Investigators believe there may be additional victims and anyone who received treatment by Ansari at both holistic centres are being urged to contact them at 905-825-4777 ext. 8970.
