Surrey RCMP are investigating a home at 91st Avenue near 126th Street which was robbed and ransacked in broad daylight.
SURREY – A group of masked thugs invaded a house in the centre of Surrey, B.C., in broad daylight while one of the residents was home, say RCMP.
“We are thankful that the homeowner wasn’t harmed. However, being a victim of a break-and-enter is very traumatizing,” said Cpl. Scotty Schumann in a written statement.
Police say they were called to the house at 91st Avenue near 126th Street shortly after noon on Tuesday.
A 36-year-old woman told officers she had been home when, what police describe as three to seven suspects, pushed their way into the house, which they then robbed and ransacked.
Officers believe the suspects were spooked and fled out the back door when another resident arrived during the robbery.
Police say one of the suspects had a weapon, but they didn’t use it.
The residents of the home aren’t known to police, and officers say they don’t know why the house was targeted.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
