Guelph Police say a pair of commercial break-ins over the weekend are related.

They were called to a business on Saturday morning on Silvercreek Parkway at Woodlawn Road after staff found a glass front door smashed.

While it is not believed the suspect gained entry, police say damage is pegged at around $5,000.00.

Then later that afternoon, officers were reportedly called to a second business a short distance away.

Authorities said a side door had been pried open and a quantity of cash was stolen.
