Weapons, drug charges following lockdown

A Guelph teen faces weapons and drug charges following an incident Wednesday which led to a high school being briefly placed in lockdown.

Approximately 1:40 p.m. police were called to the south-end school. Staff had learned a male attended the school to sell cannabis to students, and during an interaction in a bathroom brandished a small black handgun.

Officers arrived minutes later and located the male just outside the school. He was placed under arrest. A search revealed a black bb gun in the male’s pocket as well as a quantity of cannabis separated into various packages.

A 17-year-old Guelph male is charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, failing to comply with a judicial release and two counts under the Cannabis Act including selling to an individual under 18. He will appear in court March 5.

The arrested youth was not a student at the high school.

Man injured in road rage incident

The Guelph Police Service is looking to speak to witnesses after a motorist was struck and injured during a road rage incident Wednesday afternoon.

Approximately 3:10 p.m. emergency services were called to the area of Laird Road and Hanlon Creek Boulevard for an injured male. Investigation revealed two drivers had been engaged in a verbal dispute. While one male was walking back to his vehicle he was struck by the other one. The victim in his 30s was transported to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries and his vehicle was also struck and damaged.

The driver of a dark grey GMC Terrain fled the scene. It will be missing the passenger-side mirror and have damage to the front passenger side.

The Guelph Police Service is continuing to investigate and seeking the public’s assistance after nearly $50,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets were stolen from a north-end business late last year.lotto ticket suspect

Police were called December 16 to a business on Woodlawn Road West. Investigation revealed a suspect had pried open the front doors to gain entry to the store overnight.

They were captured on video a short time later exiting the business with two reusable shopping bags filled with scratch tickets and fleeing in their vehicle. The owner of the business advised the tickets were not activated at the time of the theft and would be flagged so they could be redeemed.

An investigation by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation revealed someone had attempted to redeem one of the stolen tickets the morning of December 15 at a business in Waterloo.

Police believe the male in the attached photos might have information relevant the investigation. Anyone who recognizes the male or has information about the theft is asked to call Detective Constable Adam Roszell of the Guelph Police Service General Investigations Unit at 519-824-1212, ext. 7117, email [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.
