The Guelph Police Service is asking east-end residents to check security camera after an attempted vehicle theft early Sunday.

Police were called to a home near Starwood Drive and Law Drive around 4:45 a.m. The homeowner reported that he looked outside after his dog started barking and noticed a rear window smashed on his 2024 Toyota Tundra.

“There were two vehicles stopped in front of the victim’s house which left the scene when he opened the door,” police explained in a media release. “When the victim investigated, he found his truck’s console open and the steering column damaged. One of the suspect vehicles was described as a dark-coloured pick-up, possibly with dual rear wheels.”

Anyone with information or security video is asked to call Constable Justin Garbutt at 519-824-1212 ext. 7596 or email [e-mail].

Guelph Police are also investigating a theft of another Toyota Tundra later Saturday or early Sunday, from the area of Water Street and Forest Hill Drive.

Police say on Sunday morning, a Guelph man reported he was staying at a friend’s home overnight and awoke in the morning to find his truck gone.

The truck is described as a black 2024 Tundra with a solid tonneau cover and aftermarket tube-style running boards. It also reportedly had power tools inside.

Police say it’s unknown if the two incidents are related.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call Constable Rick Towlson at 519-824-1212 ext. 7158 or email [e-mail].
