Witnesses sought after driver flees
The Guelph Police Service is asking for the public’s help after a driver fled from an officer Friday afternoon.

Shortly after 3 p.m. a member of the Guelph Police Traffic Unit was conducting speed enforcement at Gordon Street and Landsdown Drive when he observed a white Volkswagen travelling approximately 100 km/h and weaving around other vehicles.

The officer activated his lights and siren in an attempt to pull over the vehicle, however the driver seemed to be accelerating. In the interest of public safety the vehicle was not pursued.

The vehicle was described as a white four-door Volkswagen Golf with a possible dent over the left front wheel. It was last seen running a red light to turn from Gordon Street to Arkell Road.

Anyone who observed the vehicle or has dash camera video of the vehicle is asked to call Constable Andrew Hildebrandt at 519-824-1212, ext. 7263, email ahildebrandt@guelphpolice.ca, leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.

Knives wielded during neighbour dispute
The Guelph Police Service is investigating after a neighbour dispute turned violent.

Approximately 12:35 a.m. Saturday police were called to an apartment building in the west end. A tenant advised she heard banging then saw a neighbour in the hallway with a large knife.

Investigation revealed police have been called to the building several times for disputes between two tenants. On Saturday morning one of them banged on the other’s door while holding two large kitchen knives. When the other tenant opened the door, the accused allegedly made a stabbing motion towards her with one of the knives.

A 65-year-old Guelph woman was apprehended and transported to the hospital for an assessment. The investigation is ongoing.

Arrest for missing court on serious charges
A Guelph woman who missed a court date on serious charges including robbery was arrested following a disturbance Saturday morning.

Just before 10 a.m. police were called to an apartment in the west end for a report of two women yelling at each other. Investigation revealed one of them was wanted for missing a court date last month for robbery, break and enter, assault and other charges.

A 36-year-old Guelph woman was arrested on a further charge of failing to appear in court. She was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in court March 18.

Two impaired arrests
Two Guelph men face impaired driving charges following separate incidents on the weekend.

Approximately 9 p.m. Saturday police were called following a minor collision in a downtown parking lot. The complainant advised he was sitting in his car when another vehicle reversed into it, causing minor damage, then drove away. The complainant followed the other car and got the licence plate number.

Officers attended the owner’s address a short time later and could smell alcohol on his breath. After failing a roadside breath test he was arrested and transported to the police station, where further tests confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.

A 38-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving. His licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for seven days.

Approximately 6:30 a.m. Sunday, an officer was driving an unmarked cruiser when a motorist passed at a high rate of speed and was clocked on radar travelling 107 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

The officer followed the suspect and was eventually able to pull it over. The driver failed a roadside breath test and was transported to the police station, where further tests confirmed he had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.

A 54-year-old Guelph man is charged with impaired driving, speeding and stunt driving. His licence was suspended for 90 days and his vehicle was impounded for 14 days.

The Guelph Police Service would like to encourage the public to always consume alcohol and cannabis responsibly. Please don’t drive if you are going to consume alcohol or cannabis, and please ensure that you plan ahead so that you have a safe ride home. Anyone who spots a suspected impaired driver is asked to immediately call 911.
