Student House Entered While Residents Sleeping

The Guelph Police Service is investigating after a student house was entered while the residents slept Saturday and a vehicle was stolen.

Sometime between 5 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. a home on Cole Road was entered. While a visitor slept on the living room couch, the suspect removed items from the same room including a MacBook, two gaming systems and the keys to an Acura TL.

The Acura was later recovered from a parking lot on Willow Road. Security video showed a male leaving the Acura and walking to a nearby apartment building carrying some of the stolen property and later leaving the area.

Officers obtained a warrant to search an apartment unit and recovered some stolen property as well as suspected fentanyl. A 56-year-old Guelph man was arrested for possessing stolen property and possessing a controlled substance. He will appear in court May 20.

The male believed responsible for the break and enter has not yet been located.
