A Guelph woman has been arrested following a weekend break-in during which a large bowel movement was left in the victims’ toilet.

Just after 4 p.m. Saturday, police were called to a home on Edinburgh Road South. The owners had gone out approximately three hours earlier and came home to find several windows had been smashed.

Property including prescription medication, clothing, sunglasses and heirloom jewelry and coins were reported missing. The suspect also left behind property including clothing, boots and a credit card. Video surveillance captured the suspect leaving the home pulling a suitcase full of property.

On Tuesday officers on foot patrol downtown located a female wearing some of the stolen clothing. A search revealed stolen property including jewelry and coins.

A 22-year-old Guelph woman is charged with break and enter and possessing stolen property.
