A Guelph man is charged with breaching court orders after he was observed setting a fire outside a north-end business.

Approximately 8:30 a.m. September 12, emergency services responded to a plaza at Woolwich Street and Woodlawn Road East. A witness said he saw a man near the dumpsters and when he walked away the witness observed smoke and metre-high flames.



Further investigation showed a man on security video lighting a cigarette and then kneeling down next to the dumpsters. A short time later he walks away and flames can be seen.

The suspect was identified and it was determined he is on bail with a condition not to possess a lighter or other device to produce a flame.

A 27-year-old Guelph man is charged with failing to comply with a release order and breach of probation. He was held for a bail hearing and has been released to appear in court October 2.
