A man from Waterloo has been arrested after police say another man reported being robbed at gunpoint in Guelph.

The Guelph Police Service began investigating after a male working in the area of Woodlawn Road West and Elmira Road North on Dec. 2, was approached by an injured man and called 911.

The victim is from Northern Ontario but was in Guelph to meet with a group of males to discuss investments.

While in one of the male’s SUV, police say another male entered the vehicle and began assaulting the victim. One of the suspects allegedly pulled out a handgun and stole the victim’s valuables.

The victim was able to get away and flag down the male who called 911. He was transported to hospital with head and facial injuries.

Guelph police arrested a 26-year-old Waterloo man Monday for robbery with a firearm and forcible confinement.

Police say during a search, they also found a number of small baggies of suspected cocaine and Percocet. The man was also charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. He was held for a bail hearing.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with relevant information is asked to contact Guelph police or Crime Stoppers.
