Approximately noon Tuesday the victim called to report the assault. He was working when he observed a woman slapping another person across the face. The worker intervened and asked the woman to leave. Once they got outside the woman began yelling at passersby, then turned and spat twice on the social worker before leaving the area.
A 32-year-old Guelph woman is charged with assault and breaching a probation order. She remains in custody and will appear in court Thursday.
Nearly $4,200 in cosmetics stolen
The Guelph Police Service is investigating after nearly $4,200 worth of cosmetics were stolen from a business earlier this month.
On February 9, a man and woman entered a business near Eramosa Road and Stevenson Street North. They concealed more than 300 cosmetic items in a reusable bag and walked from the store.
The first suspect was described as a male with a medium build and wearing a black puffy winter jacket with a hood and blue jeans. The second was a female with a medium build wearing a black winter jacket with hood, grey pants and carrying a black purse. The stolen items were placed into a black reusable bag with a rainbow logo.
Store staff believe the same suspects are also responsible for thefts being investigated in other jurisdictions.
