5 Arrested For Break Ins

Five Toronto-area men have been arrested during a Guelph Police Service investigation into commercial break and enters which saw hundreds of thousands of dollars in thefts from Guelph and several other jurisdictions.
Last December, the Guelph Police Service Break Enter and Auto Theft Unit began an investigation into commercial break and enters involving 9 convenience stores and one auto repair shop in the City of Guelph. The culprits targeted large quantities of cigarettes and OLG lottery scratch tickets at the convenience stores. Two vehicles were also stolen from the auto repair shop which were subsequently used as transportation to and from additional break and enter locations.
Through investigation it was determined that a group of subjects from the Greater Toronto Area were working together and were responsible for the break and enters in the City of Guelph. In February and March 2025, the Guelph Police Service identified the subjects as well as some key locations for evidence.
The Guelph Police Service Break Enter and Auto Theft Unit with the assistance of the Drug and Intelligence units of the Guelph Police executed six search warrants throughout the Greater Toronto Area and arrested four males. A fifth involved male was already in custody on other matters. At the time police made arrests, some of the accused were in the process of purchasing balaclavas.
As a result of the arrests and subsequent search warrants, Guelph Police recovered approximately 6,500 packs of cigarettes valued at $100,000 and more than 800 OLG lottery scratch tickets believed to be stolen. Approximately $10,000 cash as well as ski masks and break-in tools were also seized.
The five men from Toronto and Brampton, aged 24 to 37, face dozens of charges including break and enter, possession of break-in instruments, disguise with intent, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and failure to comply with court-imposed orders.
Through coordination with other police services, police were able to connect this group of individuals to 10 break and enters in Waterloo Region and two in London.
The investigation is still ongoing. It is believed that these males will be facing further charges as officers continue to investigate the origins of the stolen property recovered. This investigation has interrupted a significant property crime group impacting Southern Ontario businesses.
The successful conclusion of this investigation by our Break Enter and Auto Theft Unit demonstrates the value of strategic public safety investments in our community. We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to address multi-jurisdictional crime as we seek to ensure the safety our citizens. Those who commit these crimes in our city can expect to be held accountable, said Guelph Police Chief Gord Cobey.
The Guelph Police Service would like to thank the Ontario Lottery and Gaming General Investigative Unit for their critical assistance in this investigation as well as the Toronto Police Service, Peel Regional Police Service and Canadian Border Services Agency for their assistance leading to the arrests and execution of search warrants. We would also like to recognize the Waterloo Regional Police Service and London Police Service for their cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
