Man attacked with bat outside home
The Guelph Police Service is investigating after a man reported being attacked outside his home by two men with a bat.
Approximately 9:45 a.m. Saturday, police were called to a home on Elizabeth Street near Huron Street. A resident said approximately 15 minutes earlier he saw two men outside near his vehicle and went out to speak to them. One of the men had a bat and struck the victim several times.
The victim managed to crawl inside and get help from his teenage son. He was transported to hospital for treatment of serious injuries to his arms and legs.
The men were last seen on foot along Elizabeth Street towards downtown. One was described as a white male, approximately 30 wearing a black leather jacket and black pants. There was no description of the second male.
Anyone with information is asked to call Constable Nick Doner at 519-824-1212, ext. 7230, email him at [email protected], leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
Residents reminded to secure homes following break-ins
Residents are reminded to ensure doors and windows are locked after four homes were entered late Saturday and early Sunday while the owners were home.
In at least three of the occurrences it is believed access was gained through insecure doors or windows. Two of the break-ins were in the area of Gordon Street and University Avenue, one was near Gordon Street and Kortright Road and the fourth was near Kortright Road West and Ironwood Road.
Thefts were reported from each of the break-ins, including wallets, cash and electronics. A black Audi SUV was stolen from the Ironwood Road location. Property from the Audi including child car seats were later recovered a short distance away near a Toyota SUV which had earlier been reported stolen in Hamilton.
It is not known if the four Guelph incidents are related.
