A BMW has been recovered after Guelph police say it was stolen from a repair shop.

An employee called police just after 8 a.m. Thursday to report that a customer’s SUV had been stolen from the lot where he was waiting for work to be done.

Four hours later, the manager of an apartment building near Gordon Street and Lowes Road West reported that someone had parked an irregular SUV and run into the building.

The suspect was described as a white woman in her 30s with a thin build. He was wearing a white, red and black leather jacket.
