SUV Used to Pull Store Doors Open in North-end Business Break-in

The Guelph Police Service is investigating after suspects used a truck to pull the door open at a north-end business early Wednesday.

Approximately 4:50 a.m. a security company called police to report the break-in at a business near Woodlawn Road West and Arrow Road. Two men had attached a chain to an SUV and used it to pull open the front door, shattering the glass in the process. Officers arrived minutes later but the suspects were gone.

A large number of smoke detectors and electrical breakers were reported missing.

The first suspect was wearing a dark grey sweatshirt over a blue or green shirt, grey baseball cap, black pants and black shoes with white soles. The second was wearing a light grey sweatshirt, black pants, dark shoes with white soles, red gloves and a ball cap. They were driving a black Ford Explorer.
