Guelph police say 18 acetylene tanks were reportedly stolen from a business on Dawson Road early Wednesday morning.
Police said the culprit entered the rear of the business at around 3:15 a.m. and broke into two storage cages.
The tanks store gas and are commonly used for welding, but police didn’t get into specifics in a news release sent out on Thursday.
