Police believe that making an arrest in connection with a commercial break and enter has allowed them to solve a second one.
On Tuesday, Guelph officers located a male downtown who was wanted for a March 11 break-in to a business on Surrey Street East. On that day, shortly after 5 a.m., someone broke a window in a rear door and entered the business, stealing a bicycle from inside. A suspect was identified through surveillance video.
Also on Tuesday, about 3 p.m., officers saw the male downtown and arrested him. When he was searched he was found to be in possession of approximately $12,000 worth of product stolen during a break and enter early Monday morning from a business on Wyndham Street North.
A 34-year-old Guelph male is charged with two counts of break and enter, possession of stolen property over $5,000, theft under $5,000, mischief under $5,000 and two counts of breaching probation. He will appear in a Guelph court July 16.
