No Easter eggs but the Guelph Police Service was able to find something else on Sunday.

A Guelph woman was wanted on an outstanding warrant after failing to show up for a court appearance.

Officers were on routine patrol that morning when they located the woman in the downtown area.

During her arrest police say an officer noticed a large knife in one of the pockets of her backpack.
