Guelph police are investigating after three people broke into a downtown business early Thursday and a window was smashed at a second business. It is not known if the incidents are related.
Just after 4 a.m., police were notified of a break and enter in progress at a business near Woolwich Street and Eramosa Road. Officers arrived within two minutes but the suspects were gone.
Investigation revealed the three smashed a large window to enter the business and fled with an unknown amount of product. The suspects are believed to be three males with average builds. One was wearing an orange hoodie, red track pants with white stripes, black shoes, red gloves and a blue medical mask. The second was wearing a grey hoodie, black pants, black shoes and red gloves. The third was wearing a black hoodie over white shirt, blue jeans, a blue baseball cap with black logo and running shoes.
Minutes after that call was received, police were dispatched to another downtown business after the owner of a business near Macdonell Street and Wilson Street reported his window smashed.
The caller advised he was on scene when he heard the smash and saw two males, one with a hammer in his hand. The males fled and did not gain entry.
They were described as wearing all dark clothing with their hoods up and medical masks.
