Police are investigating after an attempted break-in at a west-end Guelph business early Tuesday.

Guelph Police officers were called to a store on Silvercreek Parkway North after the owner arrived to find the front door damaged and a large crack in the glass.

Police said security footage showed a man arriving at the business around 2:30 a.m. and using an unknown tool to pry at the door near the lock. Police said the suspect left the area but returned about an hour later and again tried to force the door open.

The suspect is described as white with a medium build. He was wearing a black puffy jacket, black hoodie, black pants, a red baseball cap, black and white shoes and a black medical mask. He was also carrying a tan bag and a yellow umbrella.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Firas El-Ayoubi at 519-824-1212, ext. 7129 or email [e-mail].
