Guelph Man Arrested for Stealing Gas 6 Times at Same Station

A Guelph man has been arrested on a series of theft charges, including six counts of stealing gas from the same south-end station.

In November the Guelph Police Service Break Enter Auto Theft Unit began an investigation into a male involved in several retail thefts. These included six gas drive-offs from the same station during the month of November as well as three shoplifting incidents at different businesses.

On January 2 officers located the man sitting in his vehicle in a parking lot on Silvercreek Parkway North and he was arrested.

A 39-year-old Guelph man is charged with nine counts of theft under $5,000. He will appear in court February 11.
