A Guelph man woke up Wednesday morning to find his home ransacked and a stranger inside.

Police say the unknown man was in the home in the city's west end around 9:45 a.m. and told the resident he was looking for someone.

"The intruder soon left without further incident," police said in a release. The resident noticed his bank card had been taken, though.

The suspect is described as being between 30 and 35 years old, of a medium build and he was wearing dark grey clothing.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Const. Richard Maclean at 519-824-1212 ext. 7503, email him at rmaclean@guelphpolice.ca, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
