After a month long investigation into stolen property and drug offences in the area of Willow Road and Dawson Road, the (H.E.A.T) High Enforcement Action Team of the Guelph Police Service executed a search warrant at a Willow Road apartment earlier this morning.

Found in that apartment was large quantity of stolen property that included approximately 75 cell phones, numerous identity documents, bikes, bike parts as well as quantities of crystal methamphetamine and cocaine.

All those people were held in custody and will appear in bail court tomorrow. Further charges are pending once the sheer quantity of property found in the unit can be properly documented and identified.

8 a.m. original story

Guelph Police aren't saying why yet, but four people were arrested early this morning after police searched a west end apartment.

"Details of that incident are still forthcoming and a release will be coming later today," say police.

Apart from that, police note that 199 calls came in Tuesday — including minor thefts, building alarms, 9-1-1 calls, suspicious and unwanted persons, collisions, traffic enforcement — but nothing really newsworthy.
