For the third time since July, a Surrey café owned by Indian entertainment star Kapil Sharma was made the target of gunfire overnight.
The Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating after receiving reports of “numerous” shots fired at the business on 120 Street and 85 Avenue Thursday, around 3:45 a.m.
Bullets struck the windows in the early morning hours on July 10 — a week after it originally opened — and then again less than a month later on Aug. 7.
In the Aug. 7 incident, the SPS also discovered what looked like a Molotov cocktail outside. Images from the scene showed what appears to be a glass bottle, full of liquid, with a rag hanging from the top.
Employees have reportedly been inside the restaurant during all three attacks. No one has been physically injured, including during Thursday morning’s shooting.
The business reopened its doors on Oct. 2, with an SPS vehicle and mobile CCTV station positioned outside at the time.
Police say investigators are still on scene Thursday morning.
Anyone with information about possible extortion crimes is asked to call the SPS non-emergency line at 604-599-0522 and quote file number 25-66351 or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
This is a developing story. More to come.
