Male faces several charges
A Guelph male faces several charges following reports of someone going through cars early Tuesday.
Approximately 4:40 a.m., a resident in the area of Alma Street and Plymouth Court called to report someone going through his neighbour’s car. Officers arrived a short time later and observed a male lying on the ground in an attempt to conceal himself.
As officers approached the male, they could see credit cards and identity documents sticking out of his coat pocket. The male identified himself and it was discovered he is bound by an undertaking with a condition not to possess cards or identity documents unless lawfully issued in his name.
A search of the male revealed several identity documents and bank cards in other people’s names, as well as a flashlight and bolt cutters.
