Two more women charged in botched Surrey jewelry store robbery, shooting

Two more people have been charged in relation to a botched jewelry store robbery in Surrey, B.C., that left one man with gunshot wounds in February.

The attempted robbery happened on Feb. 18 at a shop in Impact Plaza, near 152 Street and 101 Avenue.

The store’s manager said the crew of robbers sent a decoy customer in first to get past a set of security double doors. A group of four people, one of them brandishing a gun, then rushed in, he said.

The husband of one of the business owners confronted the group and was shot four times, but survived.
