Stolen truck involved in two incidents
The Guelph Police Service is investigating after the same stolen pickup truck was involved in two separate incidents Thursday.
Approximately 2:40 p.m., a Guelph male called police to advise he had been involved in a road rage incident with two males in a blue Ford Ranger pickup. The caller advised he merged onto the Hanlon Expressway in front of the pickup at Speedvale Avenue West. The truck pulled alongside the caller’s vehicle and a passenger in the truck leaned out the window and used something similar to a metal pipe to smash the rear driver’s-side window of the caller’s vehicle.
Investigation revealed the Ford Ranger had been reported stolen from Wellington County. Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Robert Smith at 519-824-1212, ext. 7388, email him at [email protected], leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
Approximately four hours later, just after 7 p.m., police were called about an incident in the parking lot of a restaurant on Woodlawn Road West near Silvercreek Parkway North. A staff member advised a customer in the drive-through became upset about his order, driving erratically out of the parking lot and almost hitting two employees. The vehicle involved was determined to be the same blue Ford Ranger.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Constable Konrad Babol at 519-824-1212, ext. 7189, email him at [email protected] or contact Crime Stoppers.
Male arrested in commercial break-in
A Guelph male was arrested Thursday in connection with a commercial break and enter earlier this month.
On November 13, two males forced their way into a business on Wellington Street West after using bolt cutters to remove a lock. Once inside they searched several offices and stole a quantity of electronics.
Investigation led to the identity of both suspects. One male was arrested last week and will next appear in court December 14.
On Thursday the second male was located at an address downtown and arrested. A 35-year-old Guelph male is charged with break and enter and breach of probation. He will appear in a Guelph bail court Friday.
Charges follow drive-through dispute
A Guelph male faces charges following a dispute in a south-end drive-through earlier this week.
Monday morning, approximately 6:35 a.m., there was an altercation between a motorist and a pedestrian at the drive-through window of a restaurant on Stone Road West. During the altercation, the motorist aggressively pulled forward so his vehicle was touching the pedestrian.
He also poured a bottle of water over her head and threatened to run her over. The pedestrian was not physically injured. The motorist was identified through surveillance video and Thursday turned himself in to the Guelph Police Service.
A 41-year-old Guelph male is charged with dangerous driving, assault and uttering threats. He will appear in a Guelph court December 31, 2021.
Copper stolen from south-end business
The Guelph Police Service is investigating the theft of a quantity of copper from a south-end business early Friday morning.
Approximately 2:25 a.m. police were called by an employee of a business on Southgate Drive. The employee advised he was watching live video surveillance of a male on the business property loading copper into the back of a blue Kia Soul.
