More than $10,000 in metal was stolen from an east-end Guelph business over a two-day span, police say.

Staff at a business in the area of Watson Road South and Airpark Drive notified police Tuesday morning that someone had broken into the business.

Investigators say surveillance video shows three suspects arriving in a maroon-coloured four-door Ford F-150 around 3 p.m. Saturday. The truck had a wooden pallet instead of a tailgate.

Investigators say a similar truck, as well as a white Chevrolet or GMC pickup, arrived at the same place early Tuesday. Three suspects were seen loading the vehicles and fled just after 3 a.m.
