Police Searching for Woman Damaging Homes with Baseball Bat

The Guelph Police Service is investigating after two east-end homes were damaged by a woman with a baseball bat Wednesday night.

Just before 9 p.m. police were called to a townhouse complex near Auden Road and Eastview Road. A resident reported a woman came to her front door yelling and carrying a metal baseball bat. The resident managed to close the front door then heard it being struck several times. The resident did not know the woman.

Caught in Guelph (and Area) member Shanice Rouse first warned of the incident to the community shortly after it happened.

While officers were en route, police heard from a resident of a different townhouse complex in the same area. He said someone buzzed an intercom at his front door and started yelling while demanding to be let inside. He refused and then heard the door being struck several times.

The suspect was described as possibly of First Nations descent with black hair in a ponytail and wearing a beige cardigan. Both homes sustained minor damage.

Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Dan Urbshas at 519-824-1212, ext. 7240, email durbshas@guelphpolice.ca, leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
