Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit detectives have arrested a man after a number of criminal damage offences were committed in the Mornington and Mount Martha area late last year.
Police received nearly 40 reports of cars having their tyres slashed between September and December 2019.
Investigators have charged a 25-year-old Mount Martha man with eight charges of criminal damage with more charges expected soon.
The man has been bailed to appear at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 11 November.
