The Guelph Police Service is investigating after the owner of a west-end business was bitten while attempting to stop a shoplifter Wednesday evening.
Just after 6:15 pm police were called to a business near Willow Road and Dawson Road. The owner said two females had come into the store to buy alcohol but did not have identification and left empty-handed.
A short time later one of them returned and grabbed a case of alcohol. She attempted to flee but was stopped by the owner. A struggle ensued during which the owner sustained a bite near their wrist and a small cut on their hand. The suspect fled with one can of alcohol. The victim declined medical attention.
The woman was described as 5’6” with blonde hair and wearing a black dress with a printed pattern. She was last seen on foot on Willow Road towards Edinburgh Road North.
