Stolen truck and trailer recovered

The Guelph Police Service is investigating after a stolen truck and trailer were recovered Monday evening.

Just after 5 p.m. police were contacted by officials from a Cambridge business reporting their trailer which had been stolen 30 minutes earlier was tracking in Guelph. Officers attended the area of Southgate Drive and observed a man exiting the truck which was attached to the trailer and getting into a dark-coloured sedan which quickly left the area.

Investigation revealed the truck had been reported stolen December 1 and had a licence plate attached which had previously been reported missing.

The driver was described as possibly Indian, 5’9” and wearing dark clothing with a scarf over his face.

Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Kyle Daneluik at 519-824-1212, ext. 7804, email kdaneluik@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.

Arrest on warrants

A Guelph man was arrested on two outstanding warrants after he was located downtown Monday morning.

Approximately 9:35 a.m. officers on foot patrol entered the lobby of a building on Carden Street. A man known to the officers appeared to notice them and leave the building. Investigation revealed he was wanted by another police service for charges including theft, mischief and failing to appear in court.

A short time later the man was located in the area and arrested on the warrants.

Card used to buy two $2,100 bottles of wine

The Guelph Police Service continues to investigate after a thief used stolen cards to withdraw $3,000 in cash and purchase two bottles of wine valued at more than $2,000 each.

In late November a Guelph woman in her 70s reported her cards had been compromised after she received messages from her bank about unusual transactions.

Her debit card was used to withdraw $3,500 cash while her Visa card was used at a south-end LCBO to buy two bottles of Chateau Margaux wine valued at $2,100 each.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information or who recognizes the male in the attached photos is asked to call Constable Layne Beaver at 519-824-1212, ext. 7607, email lbeaver@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.
