The Guelph Police Service is investigating after two people stole more than $2,200 worth of lipstick from a south-end business.

Just after 7 p.m. Saturday, a man and woman entered a business near Stone Road West and Scottsdale Drive. As the woman pretended to look at fragrances while watching employees, the male began placing handfuls of items in his jacket. They left the store five minutes after entering.

The man was described as mid-30s, 5’8” with a medium build, olive complexion and dark facial hair. He was wearing a black workwear-style jacket, beige sweater, jeans and a black baseball cap.

The woman was also mid-30s, 5’6” with a medium build, olive complexion, dark hair and a large nose. She was wearing a long beige winter jacket, black sweater and a zebra-print toque.

Man arrested for threats, damage

A Guelph man faces charges after three employees of a supportive housing complex were threatened.

On Tuesday, officers were called to the home in the north end of the city for a physical disturbance, during which one of the residents damaged a fire extinguisher.

While officers were on scene they learned of another incident a week earlier during which three employees had to lock themselves in an office while a resident  pounded on the door, demanding cigarettes and threatening to harm the workers.

A 26-year-old Guelph man is charged with mischief under $5,000 and three counts of uttering threats. He will appear in court February 21.

Missing court leads to arrest

A missed court date led to more charges for a Guelph woman Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning, officers patrolling downtown located a man and woman on Baker Street. Investigation revealed the woman was wanted for missing a December court date for robbery and assault. She was placed under arrest and further investigation revealed she is also on release conditions with a term not to associate with the male.

A 41-year-old Guelph woman is charged with failing to attend court and failing to comply with an undertaking. She was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in court January 28.
