Waterloo Man Arrested in Guelph Robbery Attempt

A Waterloo man has been arrested for attempting to rob a Guelph business and robbing a Brantford business nearly two years ago.

Shortly after noon June 19, 2023, three males in a stolen vehicle attended a business on Silvercreek Parkway North. They were wearing gloves, masks and sunglasses and carrying reusable shopping bags, but were unable to enter the business as the front doors were locked as a safety precaution.

Later that afternoon the males drove the same stolen vehicle to a Brantford business, where they brandished weapons and stole a large quantity of prescription medication.

As a result of the ongoing investigation, on Thursday Guelph Police arrested a 19-year-old Waterloo man who was 17 at the time of these incidents. He is charged with robbery, attempted robbery, possessing stolen property over $5,000 and several weapons offences. He will appear in court February 12.

The investigation is ongoing.
