A Niagara-on-the-Lake man has been arrested in connection with a series of indecent acts and assaults reported in Grimsby, St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake over three days, police say.

Niagara Regional Police said officers received several calls about a man committing indecent acts in the three communities.

Investigators allege a man approached several women at a liquor store in Grimsby, making sexual gestures and comments. In another incident, a woman working at a cannabis store in St. Catharines was assaulted.

Police say the same man also threw a bottle of water at a male employee at a farm in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Detectives with the 1 District (St. Catharines/Thorold) criminal investigations branch identified a suspect and arrested him on Nov. 10.

Police say Bettes remains in custody and is scheduled to appear for a bail hearing on Tuesday at the Robert S.K. Welch Courthouse in St. Catharines.

Investigators say they believe there may be additional victims.

They are asking anyone with information to contact detectives at 905-688-4111, option 3, extension 1009011, or reach out to Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Bettes is described by police as male, white, six feet tall, weighing 240 pounds, with a shaved head and grey facial hair.
