Guelph Police investigate multiple weekend CR-V thefts 

The Guelph Police Service are investigating a series of Honda CR-V thefts reported over the weekend, including an attempted theft that left one vehicle damaged.

Police say a male living on Waterloo Avenue contacted police Monday afternoon after experiencing mechanical issues while driving his white 2026 CR-V Hybrid to work.

After bringing the vehicle to a dealership, he was informed that there was damage to the vehicle’s front wiring harness. Police say the horns and acoustic alerting system - which emits sound to warn pedestrians of approaching vehicles - had also been unplugged.

Investigators noted that three newer-model CR-Vs were reported stolen from the city’s south end over the weekend.

To protect your vehicle from auto theft, Guelph Police are encouraging drivers to park indoors whenever possible or in well-lit areas. Drivers should also ensure all vehicle doors and windows are closed and locked.

Anyone who sees suspicious activity around unattended vehicles, especially during overnight hours, is asked to report it to Guelph Police.
