Guelph police say they are still investigating to see if two similar break-ins which were discovered on Wednesday morning are related.

Police say a glass display case inside the business had also been smashed with a rock.
Police say thieves made off with merchandise from the business valued at around $1,250 and caused an estimated $2,000 in damage.
Around 30 minutes later, police were called to a business on Silvercreek Parkway near Willow Road after it was reported that glass doors had been smashed open.
Police say around $800 in products was taken from unlocked display cabinets while the damage in this incident is estimated at a further $300.
