Police rarely investigate people trying to break into a jail, but that was the case Sunday morning when officers were called to the former Guelph Correctional Centre.

Just before 4 a.m., security at the York Road site called after spotting three individuals on camera breaking into a fenced compound. Several officers responded.

A gate had been cut and pulled back, allowing access to the fenced area. A broken window was also located though no entry was gained. The suspects, described as three people in dark clothing, were not located.
