Yes.
Explanation:
Colons are used to show the start of a list. If you have detailed items in the list, then you can use semi colons in between to separate them.
e.g I went to the shop and bought: several large, juicy tomatoes; a new top for my sister; a new book (by my favourite author); and lots of soft drinks for my party tomorrow.
