Appeal for Return of Equestrian Riding Gear

The Guelph Police Service is appealing to anyone who may have mistakenly picked up riding gear which had been stolen from a vehicle.

Late last Thursday or early Friday, an equestrian bag and gear were stolen from a vehicle in the Exhibition Park area. The property was later discarded by the thief about a block away, and a neighbour collected the items and placed them against a tree. By the time word got back to the owner the items were missing again, possibly taken by someone who thought they were free items being given away.

Sarah Lepage first posted to the Caught in Guelph (and Area) community asking for assistance where it received hundreds of shares. 

The missing items are a purple nylon bag with a diamond pattern, brown riding boots, a black helmet with visor, gloves and rubber-coated spurs.

If anyone has the property or more information about its whereabouts, they are asked to call Constable Todd Van Iersel at 519-824-1212, ext. 7557, or email tvaniersel@guelphpolice.ca.
