A Hamilton man has been arrested for his role in two Guelph jewelry store break-ins late last year.
Just after 4 am November 3, five men attended a jewelry store in the west end and pried open a rear door to gain access. Jewelry valued at more than $8,500 was stolen.
On November 17, just after midnight, three men attended a south-end jewelry store and pried open a rear door. Several display cases were smashed and thousands of dollars in jewelry was stolen.
At 12:45 am December 8, four men attended the same south-end business broke into the same south-end business but fled a moments later.
In all three incidents the suspects wore hoodies, gloves and face coverings.
The Guelph Police Service Break Enter Auto Theft Unit took over the investigations and was able to identify suspects with assistance from the Hamilton Police Service.
On December 11, four men were arrested by Hamilton Police. A 42-year-old Toronto man was returned to Guelph that day and charged with break and enter, disguise with intent and possessing break-in tools. He will appear in court February 17.
On Tuesday, a 36-year-old Hamilton man was returned to Guelph and arrested for two counts each of break and enter, disguise with intent and possessing break-in tools. He was held for a bail hearing February 2.
The investigation is ongoing.
