Guelph police used some old-school detective work to make an arrest in a vandalism investigation just after midnight on Wednesday.
Officers simply followed footsteps in the snow, which led them to a suspect in the area of Willow Road and Applewood Crescent.
Police said this happened after a woman was awoken to the sound of a loud smash and when she went downstairs, she found her front door had been kicked in.
