DNA links female to 2021 burglary
GUELPH – A Guelph woman was arrested this week after DNA linked her to a commercial break-in and theft more than a year ago.
In February, 2021, a downtown Guelph business was entered after a rear door was damaged to gain entry. Polcie say a small amount of cash and approximately $5,000 worth of product was stolen from the business.
“Evidence collected at the scene was submitted to the Centre of Forensic Science for DNA analysis and was eventually linked to someone on the national DNA database,” police stated in a March 22 press release. “That person was located at an address in downtown Guelph this week and arrested.”
A 38-year-old Guelph woman was charged with break and enter, theft over $5,000 and breaching probation. She is to appear in Guelph court on May 17. (Guelph Police do not identify those charged).
