Guelph police are investigating after two riding lawnmowers and other equipment were stolen from a north end church.

Police were called to the church in the area of Woodlawn Road West and Elmira Road North about 2 p.m. Friday. A maintenance volunteer had arrived on scene to find a large shed had been broken into.

A review of security video revealed a black pickup attended the property late on the night of March 28. The occupant of the truck dumped some garbage in the church’s dumpster then left, but came back a short time later and broke the lock off the shed to gain access. Two riding lawnmowers, a push mower, a leaf blower and other tools with a total value in excess of $3,000 were stolen.

The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Cst. Konrad Babol at 519-824-1212, ext. 7189, email him at [email protected], leave an anonymous tip for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
