Guelph Police Need Your Eyes: Can You Help Identify a Liquor Theft Suspect?

Guelph police are really counting on the community’s eyes and ears right now, hoping someone out there can help them track down a suspect involved in a recent liquor theft. It’s always a bit frustrating, isn't it, when something like this happens in our neighborhoods.

The incident itself unfolded just this past Sunday, May 26th, around 8:30 in the evening. Picture this: a man reportedly walked into the LCBO store located on Scottsdale Drive, which is right near Stone Road West – a pretty busy spot, as you can imagine. Without much fuss, he apparently grabbed a bottle of liquor and then, well, simply walked out without bothering to pay. It’s a pretty straightforward theft, but still, it's a theft nonetheless that needs addressing.

Now, thanks to the evidence gathered, police have put together a description of the individual they're looking for. We're talking about a male, believed to be of average height and build. When this happened, he was seen wearing a black zip-up hooded sweater, some dark pants, and topped it all off with a dark baseball cap. Oh, and it’s worth noting he was also carrying a black backpack, which might be a pretty distinguishing detail for anyone who saw him.

So, here’s the crucial bit: Guelph police are genuinely appealing to anyone who might have information. Maybe you were in the area, maybe you recognize the description, or perhaps you've heard something. Every little detail can help piece together the puzzle, you know? If you think you can assist, please don't hesitate to reach out to Constable Scott Carroll. You can easily get in touch with him via email at scarroll@guelphpolice.ca.
