The Guelph Police Service is investigating after the same stolen pickup truck was involved in two separate incidents Thursday.
Approximately 2:40 p.m., a Guelph male called police to advise he had been involved in a road rage incident with two males in a blue Ford Ranger pickup. The caller advised he merged onto the Hanlon Expressway in front of the pickup at Speedvale Avenue West. The truck pulled alongside the caller’s vehicle and a passenger in the truck leaned out the window and used something similar to a metal pipe to smash the rear driver’s-side window of the caller’s vehicle.
Investigation revealed the Ford Ranger had been reported stolen from Wellington County.
Approximately four hours later, just after 7 p.m., police were called about an incident in the parking lot of a restaurant on Woodlawn Road West near Silvercreek Parkway North. A staff member advised a customer in the drive-through became upset about his order, driving erratically out of the parking lot and almost hitting two employees. The vehicle involved was determined to be the same blue Ford Ranger.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Guelph police at 519-824-1212, leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
