Guelph police are investigating after more than $13,000 worth of wire and a vehicle’s generator was reported as stolen during a break-in at a north-end business.
An employee of a business near Curtis Drive and Monarch Road arrived at work and discovered the break-in on Monday, according to police.
Police said there’s surveillance video that shows two males arriving at the business just after 1 a.m. Sunday, breaking a lock to open the gate to gain access.
Police said they can be seen unspooling and cutting wire and loading it into their van. The males also allegedly broke into a trailer and stole a Honda generator and cables and an unknown quantity of wire. Police believe the total value of theft is over $25,000.
Both males were wearing face coverings and arrived in a white panel van with no markings.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
