Residents of a south end neighbourhood are being asked to check surveillance cameras and report any suspicious activity after a woman was arrested for trying to break into a home while the tenants were sleeping.
Approximately 12:40 a.m. police were called to a home near Ptarmigan Drive and Niska Road. Tenants were sleeping in their basement bedroom when they were awakened by sounds and discovered someone attempting to crawl through the window. They quickly were able to close and lock the window.
The tenants alerted their landlord, who lives upstairs. He went outside and could hear someone in a neighbouring yard. A canine track was unsuccessful, but just before 4 a.m. a resident of Niska Road reported someone on their security cameras walking around the property. Officers attended and found a woman hiding behind a shrub.
A 36-year-old Guelph woman is charged with break and enter and trespassing by night.
Residents of Ptarmigan Drive, Niska Road, Tanager Drive and Trendell Lane are asked to check their cameras from overnight and report anything suspicious to police.
