Mimico area women can breathe a bit easier today.

A man accused of prowling the Mimico area by night for women has been arrested by 22 Division officers.

Police in a press release said on December 10 officers of 22 Division Major Crime Unit made an arrest in relation to the investigation.

A suspect was on the lam after he tried to grab a woman through a bathroom window, police said.

Detectives in an earlier release said they responded to a call on December 1 for a break-and-enter in the Melrose Street and Grand Avenue area just after 12 a.m.

It is reported that “a man opened the window to a basement apartment,” according to police.

“He reached in and tried to grab a woman in the washroom taking a shower,” police alleged. “She screamed and he fled.”

Scott Wasson, 39, of Toronto, has been charged with four counts of trespass by night, three counts of voyeurism and break and enter.

He appeared for a bail hearing on December 11 at Old City Hall.
