A string of thefts dating back to August at the Powell River Recreation Complex has led to the arrest of a 55-year-old man, the RCMP said.
The first incident was reported in August after a victim using the pool facilities said undergarments were taken from their locker in the family change room.
In September, three more victims came forward with similar reports, the RCMP said.
Officers arrested the suspect on Nov. 13 as he left the complex carrying stolen undergarments.
He has been banned from the facility.
Staff Sgt. Lee Dyson, officer in charge of the Powell River detachment, called the incidents “a concerning series of crimes” and thanked City of Powell River staff for their help.
“It was challenging to identify the person and gather enough evidence to support charges, it could not have been done without their help.”
The RCMP said there may be other victims who have not yet reported their experiences. Anyone with information is asked to call Powell River RCMP at 604-485-6255.
The man is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
