Surrey business targeted in shooting

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Nov, 2023 04:51 PM

Mounties in Surrey say a store was hit by gunfire on Thursday, the second time this week within the same business complex on 128 Street.

Police say officers found evidence of a shooting, but no one was injured and the business was closed at that time.

Surrey R-C-M-P say there was a robbery in the same area Wednesday morning, but investigators say the two incidents aren’t linked.

Corporal Vanessa Munn says police will be upping patrols in the area and meeting with business owners about their concerns.
