  • 4 charged in Guildford robbery

Mounties in Surrey says four people have now been charged after a robbery at a jewellery store in Guildford earlier this year.

They say police responded after shots were fired at the store on February 18th, leaving one person with non-life threatening injuries. 

The R-C-M-P say two people were arrested more than a week later in Calgary. 

They say officers continued to investigate, which led to the arrest of two more women, who have since been charged in relation to the crime.
