Guelph police are investigating after three businesses were broken into on Saturday.
Police were called to a business near Clair Road and Gordon Street around 6 p.m. Saturday after the owner arrived to find a back door had been pried open. Cash and a laptop were stolen, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Const. Rob Smith at 519-824-1212, ext. 7388, email rsmith@guelphpolice.ca.
Just before 10 a.m. Saturday, police were called to another business near Stone Road West and Scottsdale Drive.
“Staff had arrived to find a rear door had been pried open. A tip jar containing cash was stolen and the suspect attempted to break into a cash register, damaging it,” police said in a media release.
The suspect in this case was described as a male wearing red shoes, brown pants, a black hoodie with an unknown logo, black gloves, a grey hat and a green and grey Adidas backpack with a red and yellow logo. It’s believed he arrived in a white vehicle.

Police were called to another business around noon near Gordon Street and Clair Road.
