Toronto police say officers have arrested a suspect after a man was seen peering through the windows of a west-end Toronto home several times.

Police said three incidents were reported during overnight hours between Jan. 2 and 5 in the area of Bloor Street West and Prince Edward Drive.

In a news release, officers said it was reported that in each incident, a couple were in their home when a man entered their backyard and looked into the windows of their home.

Police said the same home was targeted each time.
