A Guelph man is charged after police investigated a theft at a local church.
A collection box containing cheques and cash was stolen during a service at a north-end church on March 15, Guelph police said.
Investigators said a man posing a new member of the congregation picked up the box that was being passed around and then left the area with the box containing more than $3,900.
They said a business notified police the following day after finding several cheques that were made out to the church.
Investigators say they were able to obtain video surveillance and identify the suspect.
A 37-year-old man was arrested on Monday.
He has a bail hearing set for Wednesday.
