A Guelph man faces charges after an elderly homeowner was confronted by an armed intruder in her home Monday evening.
At 8:38 p.m. Monday, a man entered a home near Cambridge Street and Yorkshire Street North and confronted the homeowner. The victim was able to direct the man out of her home as he showed what appeared to be a black firearm inside his coat.
The man was located nearby. A black imitation firearm was found in his jacket pocket. A 45-year-old Guelph man is charged with break and enter, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and possessing stolen property. He was held for a bail hearing Tuesday.
At the time of his arrest the male was wearing a knitted ¾-length coat believed to be stolen. If anyone recognizes this coat they are asked to call Constable Matt Ball at 519-824-1212, ext. 7525, or email him at [email protected].
