$20,000 in Cigarettes Stolen from Guelph Business

The Guelph Police Service is investigating after thousands of dollars in cigarettes were stolen from a Guelph business early Sunday.

Just after 1 a.m., the manager of a business near Eramosa Road and Metcalfe Street called to report a break and enter in progress. Officers arrived three minutes later but the suspects had just left.

Security video revealed three men arrived in a white car and parked in front of the business. One of the males smashed the glass door and all three entered. They stole cigarettes valued at $18,000 to $20,000 and a small amount of cash.

All three males were dressed in dark clothing with ski masks and gloves. Two are believed to have brown skin and the third had white or lighter brown skin.

While enroute to the business, officers passed a white car later determined to be stolen from Peel Region, but it is not known if it was involved in this incident.
