Victoria-area RCMP say they’ve arrested a man accused of exposing himself to people repeatedly on the Galloping Goose trail.

The 33-year-old suspect, who has not been identified, is potentially facing 15 charges of committing an indecent act and one count of indecent exposure.

West Shore RCMP said they launched the investigation in June, after several reports of a man exposing himself on parts of the trail in Langford.

Police say they believe there may be more victims, and are asking anyone with information or who witnessed an indecent act to contact West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.
