A Gatineau, Que., man is facing 12 new charges after he was picked up last week in Sandy Hill over allegedly spying on a woman through her window.

Samuel Gendreau was arrested Friday morning after Ottawa police received a call about a man peering through the window of a Chapel Street residence. He was charged with voyeurism, trespassing by night and resisting arrest.

Police have been receiving calls about a voyeur in Sandy Hill since October, but it was unclear on Friday whether Gendreau was connected to those other alleged incidents as well.
