GUELPH – Police say safe-cracking gear and soy sauce were just some of the tools a Guelph man used while allegedly vandalizing a local business in September.

They say the vandalism took place on Sept. 18 after the business closed for the day.

Investigators allege the man hid inside a bathroom until staff went home, then emerged with a bag of break-and-enter tools which he used to open a safe containing more than $2,000.

They allege he then proceeded to cause roughly $100,000 worth of damage to the business, partially by pouring soy sauce over multiple electronics.

They say he also damaged ceiling tiles, walls and venting.

Police say some of the man’s actions were captured on surveillance video.

A suspect was arrested Friday and is now facing multiple, unspecified charges in relation to the incident.
