Guelph Police are investigating after they said a man was robbed on Tuesday because of an alleged unpaid debt.
At around 7:40 p.m., police said an officer was near the intersection of Speedvale Avenue East and Delhi Street when a man waved them down and said he was robbed. The man told police he went to another area downtown to pick someone up when a different man he knew got into his vehicle and demanded he pay his debt. They then drove to the area of the intersection before the suspect removed and took the victim's car keys, along with his phone and left. A little while later, police said the suspect came back and took the vehicle, which police had found in a nearby parking lot.
Police said they know who the suspect is but have not found him.

Three hospitalized following string of stabbings in Winnipeg: police
Winnipeg police on scene in the area of Portage Avenue and Vaughan Street on June 5, 2025. (Tim Salzen/CTV News) Several people have been arrested, and three people were sent to the hospital following a string of unrelated violent crimes in Winnipeg on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The first incident took place around 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday when a man in his 20s was robbed and stabbed by an unknown assailant near Dakota/Abinoji Mikanah. The suspect fled the scene and has not been arrested, while the victim was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The action continued at 7 p.m. when a man in his 40s, who was cutting grass in the 500 block of Henderson Highway, was robbed of his sunglasses and attacked with a machete. A nearby off-duty officer intervened, called for backup, and chased after the suspect, who had fled on his bike. East district officers and the tactical support team eventually stopped and took the suspect—a 28-year-old man—into custody. The third incident began around 7:20 p.m. when Winnipeg officers conducted a traffic stop at Cambridge Street and Yale Avenue as part of a gun investigation. Police seized crack cocaine and a loaded Glock handgun and arrested several people. The crimes continued at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday. At this time, police responded to a stabbing in the 300 block of McKelvey Street that took place during a 'group confrontation.' The group left the scene before officers arrived, and the victim was taken to the hospital. No arrests have been made. The final incident took place at 3 a.m. on Thursday when officers were notified of a stabbing in the area of Portage Avenue and Vaughan Street. The victim—a man in his 40s—was taken to the hospital in stable condition. No arrests have been made, and police continue to investigate. Anyone with information on any of these incidents is asked to call police at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.

‘Unsafe': Popeyes accused of using supplier that stored chicken in residential garages
A lawsuit alleges Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen of purchasing meat unsafe for human consumption, that was stored and packaged in residential garages. A lawsuit filed against Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is accusing the fried chicken chain of buying 'unsafe' meat from an unauthorized seller that was allegedly storing and packaging raw chicken in residential garages in Ontario. The lawsuit was filed at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 26 by ADP, a former raw chicken supplier to Popeyes. The company alleges they lost their contract with Popeyes after bringing forward its concerns about the 'unsafe supply' of products. Popeyes, Restaurant Brands International (RBI)—the Toronto-based company that owns the fast-food chain—and Restaurant Services Canada Inc. (RSCI), the supply chain manager, are all named in the lawsuit. Popeyes, for its part, said in a statement to CTV News that the claims from ADP Direct Poultry Ltd. are unfounded and that it found 'no evidence' to support them following an investigation. The lawsuit also names another company as the unauthorized supplier that allegedly provided, at times, 'rotten or expired' chicken deemed 'unfit for human consumption' to various franchisees across Ontario. The documents continue to say this chicken created a public health risk because it was delivered in vehicles that did not have the proper refrigeration to prevent it from spoiling. The statement of claim alleges that these tainted products were bought by various franchisees—both known to ADP and not, all named in the suit—due to their lower prices. The lawsuit also alleges the franchisees continued to sell the chicken to customers, even after ADP brought forward its concerns that the products did not adhere to food health and safety standards. The allegations have not been tested in court. As laid out in the documents, Popeyes had a system of authorized suppliers and distributors who adhered to the company's specifications and standards, meaning franchisees were required to purchase from within their approved list of vendors. Any restaurant looking to purchase ingredients outside of the company's list of vendors had to write a formal request, after which the supplier in question would have to submit to an inspection to ensure it meets the requirements as well as health and safety standards. ADP claims the chicken sold by the unauthorized company was not inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or any other inspector. CTV News Toronto contacted the CFIA for comment. The supplier claims RSCI, meanwhile, did not investigate the unsafe supply of chicken as they promised and instead conspired to 'manufacture a rationale for removing ADP' from their authorized vendors list. In turn, the filings further allege franchisees were 'upset about the reporting of the unsafe supply' and worked with the RSCI to lodge 'false or misleading' complaints about the quality of their products. CTV News has reached out to Restaurant Services Inc., parent company to RSCI, for comment but has not yet heard back. 'We believe this former supplier is lashing out after losing our business for a variety of legitimate reasons,' Emily Ciantra, Popeye's director communications, told CTV News Toronto in a statement. 'We have always been committed to rigorous safety standards, including regular inspections by third party auditors who verify our strict standards are being followed.' ADP seeks $35 million in damages from Popeyes, RBI and RSCI, citing breach of contract and breaches of the Competition Act. The documents state that $30 million is to cover ADP's loss of profits after their contract—which was expected to continue until 2027—was prematurely terminated. An additional $5 million is to cover the costs the supplier incurred after boosting its production facilities to meet Popeyes' increased production demand, the documents state. ADP also seeks $1 million in punitive damages. The supplier adds it also lost out on business opportunities, such as providing products to other fast-food chains like Wendy's. Additionally, the raw chicken supplier is seeking at least $10 million in damages from the unauthorized company, who it deems liable for 'unlawfully interfering' with ADP's economic relationship with Popeyes, as well as $500,000 in aggravated damages. ADP also seeks $150,000 from each franchisee and an account detailing the quantity of 'unsafe supply' they bought from the company as well as how much they profited from the unauthorized products. 'The defendants' conduct was malicious, high handed, intended to cause harm to ADP, endangered the public, and warrants aggravated and punitive damages,' the filings state.
