An elderly man was forced to hang up his unusual weapon after allegedly terrorizing his neighborhood with a slingshot for a decade.

In a press release announcing the May 23 arrest of 81-year-old Prince Raymond King of Azusa, California, Azusa police called him a “serial slingshot shooter.”

According to police, King damaged property and nearly hit people in his neighborhood for about a decade using ball bearings and a slingshot.

“The DEU has carried out lengthy investigations and found that over the course of nine to ten years, dozens of citizens have fallen victim to a serial slingshot shooter,” the press release states. The as yet unknown perpetrator “smashed windows and windshields and almost killed people with ball bearings.”

Footage of the devastated area provided to local broadcaster ABC 7 showed windows with varying degrees of damage. Some had holes the size of air rifle bullets, others were completely shattered.

No injuries were reported during the entire decade of vandalism, Azusa Police Lt. Jake Bushey told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

Bushey also told the outlet that law enforcement has been investigating the serial slingshot shooter since his first attack, but has not yet been able to identify him.

“It’s been like this for many years,” said the police lieutenant, “because we simply couldn’t identify the suspect.”

After a decade of slingshot property damage, the department executed a search warrant in King’s neighborhood earlier this month.

When investigators searched his apartment, they found an unknown number of ball bearings and a slingshot.

According to records viewed by PEOPLE, King was arrested several hours later and taken to jail.

He is currently being held without bail at the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles. It is not immediately clear if he has legal counsel who could comment on his behalf.
