Guelph man ‘made himself a sandwich’ during restaurant break-in: police

A 21-year-old man may have a full stomach, but Guelph police say he is facing charges after a fast-food restaurant was broken into on Friday.

According to a news release, a man kicked in the drive-thru window of a restaurant at the corner of Wellington and Gordon streets just after midnight.

Once inside, police say the suspect made himself a sandwich and also grabbed a loaf of bread and a package of bagels before leaving.

It’s alleged the man walked into another restaurant at around 2 a.m. in the downtown core and punched an employee in the face after being asked to pay for the food he had just ordered.
