A man was arrested late Saturday night following a string of "peeping Tom" incidents and ongoing suspicious activity in Brighton, Massachusetts, police said.

Boston police were called to Strathmore and Lothian roads around 10:20 p.m. for another report of a suspicious person in the area and found a man matching the given description. He was later identified as Oqueli Pascual-Hernadez, who is also known as Pascual Oqueli according to police.

According to police, officers discovered that the 33-year-old Brighton man was wanted on an outstanding default warrant out of Brighton District Court on a charge of breaking and entering, stemming from a prior incident that occurred in the area of Egremont Road.

Pascual-Hernadez has only been charged in connection to the Oct. 2 peeping incident. There are seven others that remain under investigation.

Detectives had asked the public for help identifying a man wanted in connection to ongoing suspicious activity in Brighton, after a male suspect was observed peering through windows of residences late at night in the areas of Radnor Road, Foster Street, Kirkwood Road, Greycliff Road, and Braemore Road, where many Boston College students live off campus.

A college student in the Brighton neighborhood told NBC10 Boston last week that she doesn't feel safe in her own apartment after she found a man staring at her in the middle of the night, calling it "really invasive and freaky."

Police said all incidents that have occurred in the area remain under investigation.

Pascual-Hernadez entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment Monday and was ordered held for 60 days on $3,000 cash bail. He was also ordered to stay away from the victims in the case.

His attorney said in court Monday that he has a second grade education and lives in Brighton with his sister and brother.
