An 81-year-old man has been arrested after terrorizing neighbors as the 'BB Gun Bandit' for nearly a decade in California, US.
The man, identified as Prince King, is suspected of shooting out windows and car windshields with ball bearings fired from a slingshot, Azusa police said in a statement, cited by Sky News.
No injuries were reported, however.
Still, dozens of people had reported being 'victimized' by the unknown assailant over the course of about 10 years, with police dubbing him the "serial slingshot shooter."
Prince was eventually caught after ball bearings and a slingshot were found during a search of his home.
Detectives in the case said most of the 'strikes' appeared to have come from the backyard of the suspect's home.
"We're not aware of any other motive than just meanness. It's been going on for so many years because we haven't been able to identify a suspect," said Lt. Jake Bushey.
The man is set to appear in court on Tuesday.
