Guelph police are investigating after a male injured himself Tuesday while breaking into a downtown business.
Police were called at 5:35 p.m. to a business near Baker Street and Chapel Lane where officers found broken windows and several blood stains on the floor and walls.
Investigation revealed a male had been inside the business earlier, then came back after the owner closed for the day. He used a chunk of concrete to smash an exterior window and gain access to a lobby, then used his bare hand to smash an interior window, cutting himself in the process.
He did not gain entry into the business but damage is estimated at more than $2,000.
The suspect was described as a white male with a thin build and blonde or dirty brown hair and light facial hair. He was wearing a black V-neck shirt, black sweatpants, black and white sandals and a light grey Nike baseball cap.
