Guelph police were first called to a business in the south end of the city on March 25.

An investigation found that two men entered business with the use of a sledgehammer.

Police say some blood was found at the scene.

A sample was taken by the Guelph Police Service Forensic Identification Unit.

Investigators say they were able to tie the blood at the scene to a man in the national DNA database.

They say a 42-year-old man from Oshweken turned himself in to police on Sunday.

He was later released with a Jan. 20 court date in Guelph.

Investigators say the second male suspect has not been identified.
