Police investigating suspicious male
The Guelph Police Service is investigating after an unknown male attempted to enter a young woman’s bedroom while she was changing Thursday night.
Just before 10 p.m. police were called to a townhouse complex on Gordon Street near Harts Lane. A man reported he entered his girlfriend’s bedroom while she was changing and noticed the patio door slightly ajar. He pulled back a curtain and encountered a male who was standing in the open doorway. The complainant yelled at the male who ran away.
He was described as a black male, 18-25 years old, 6’2”, 180 pounds with an athletic build. He was wearing a dark windbreaker over dark clothing and a black wool hat with a pompom and white writing on the brim.
Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Sherry Pettapiece at 519-824-1212, ext. 7479, email her at [email protected], leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
Arrest on two dozen outstanding charges

Approximately 9:30 a.m. officers patrolling downtown observed a male known to be wanted on several outstanding warrants related to property crimes and failing to attend court.
He was placed under arrest, and during a search of his property police recovered a large quantity of meat. A call to a nearby business confirmed someone matching the male’s description had just left the business without paying for approximately $250 worth of meat products.

Approximately 2:45 a.m., a member of the Guelph Police Service was patrolling on Wellington Street West near Imperial Road South when he observed a vehicle weaving out of its lane. A traffic stop was conducted and the officer immediately detected an odour of alcoholic beverage coming from the driver.
After failing a roadside test the man was arrested and transported to the police station, where further testing confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
