Investigators say a man broke into the secured compound sometime over the weekend and drove off in the van. It was later recovered in Hamilton.

They say security video showed the suspect gaining entry into the yard. He was seen wearing dark mechanic-style overalls with a triangle logo on the chest, a dark baseball cap, and black and white shoes.

Anyone with information on this is asked to contact the Guelph Police Service at 519-824-1212 ext. 7159 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
