A Guelph man faces several charges after police were called Friday morning about a suspicious male in the east end.
Shortly before 5 a.m. police were notified of a male walking around checking vehicles in the area of Cedarvale Avenue and Oakes Crescent and gaining access to multiple vehicles.
Officers checked the area and eventually located a male hiding beside a house on Valleyhaven Lane. He began running through backyards and was arrested following a brief foot pursuit. A search of the male revealed a folding knife, a homemade lock-punching tool and stolen property.
The male provided a name determined to be fake. Investigation revealed he is currently on bail with conditions to remain in his residence unless with his surety, not to possess weapons and not to possess any break and enter tools.
A 47-year-old Guelph man is charged with trespassing by night, carrying a concealed weapon, possessing stolen property, possessing break and enter tools, obstructing police, three counts of breaching bail and failing to appear in court. He was held for a bail hearing.
