Three businesses in the same south-end plaza in Guelph were entered in early Tuesday morning.

Guelph Police received a call from a security guard around 4:45 a.m., who went to check an alarm at a business near Gordon Street and Clair Road East. Police said when he got there, he found three neighbouring businesses with their front doors smashed.

Surveillance video from one of the businesses showed three males entering the plaza on foot from Poppy Drive.

“One of the males was carrying what appeared to be a hammer which he used to smash the glass doors,” police said in a news release.

Small amounts of cash were reported stolen from each of the businesses and one also had a tablet allegedly torn off a wall and smashed.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
