One person has been arrested after allegedly pointing a laser at a military aircraft last week.

Last Thursday, April 23, at about 9:45 p.m., Comox Valley RCMP received notification from 19 Wing Comox that one of their military aircraft - a fixed wing Kingfisher - was allegedly targeted with a laser.

With their assistance, the 38-year-old male suspect was quickly located and arrested without incident.

He was released on an Undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

Investigators continue to gather evidence and a detailed report to Crown Counsel will be forwarded with consideration of appropriate charges.

As the investigation continues, no further details are being released. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.
