Police said one man left his bedroom and found an unknown woman eating food at his kitchen table before she left for another unit.

The woman does not live at the building and investigators said she was the one responsible for pulling the alarm.

A 46-year-old woman has been charged. She’ll make a Guelph court appearance in December.
