The Guelph Police Service is investigating after a hole was punched in a wall to gain entry to a north-end business, police said in a news release.
Just after 9 am on Dec. 21, police said that officers were called to a business on Woolwich Street near Speedvale Avenue West. They said staff arrived to find drywall all over the floor and discovered a large hole in the wall connecting the business to an adjacent vacant unit.
A police investigation revealed the culprits had allegedly broken into the vacant unit through the rear door, and then smashed a metre-wide hole in the wall. Computer equipment was stolen, police said.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information can call Const. Emily Dietrich at 519-824-1212, ext. 7265, email her at [email protected], or leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
