Second man arrested after foot pursuit
Just after 9 p.m. on Sunday night, police saw two males walking in the area of Wyndham and Macdonell Streets. One of those males was a 16-year-old young person who was wanted in connection to a mischief incident that had occurred at a Belleview residence earlier in the day. Police were able to approach and arrest the young person when the second man ran off. After a foot pursuit of a few blocks, the second man was apprehended. It was learned that the 32-year-old Guelph man was in breach of a condition of previous court recognizance and is to appear in Guelph court for a bail hearing.
When police searched the young person they found, what it is believed to be, methamphetamine and marijuana on his person. He was charged with mischief, two counts of drug possession and breach of probation and released to appear before a Guelph court at a later date
