A jewelry store in Surrey’s Payal Business Centre was targeted in a shooting this week. Surrey RCMP confirmed that police were investigating the shooting that targeted a Newton business.
“On March 18, 2024, at 2:52 a.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a glass-break alarm at a business located in the area of 80 Avenue and 128 Street. When officers arrived on scene, they located evidence consistent with a shooting. The business was closed at the time of the incident and no injuries were reported,” said Sgt. Tammy Lobb, Surrey RCMP Media Relations Unit.
The police said that initial information indicates that this was a targeted incident but did not say if it was related to the ongoing extortion incidents.
Although police did not name the business, a video circulating on social media platforms captured a barrage of gunfire at ACC Jewellers.
Security video shows a vehicle pulling up in front of the business and someone inside firing at least a dozen shots through the glass.
“At this time in the investigation, there are no links to the extortion series,” Surrey RCMP Sgt. Tammy Lobb told Global News.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
