Police investigating eight potentially linked South Surrey break-ins
Mounties say they’re investigating eight South Surrey break-ins throughout August and believe “the incidents are likely related.”
The Surrey RCMP says all of the thefts happened in similar areas and involved a similar type of vehicle being driven into a business to gain access.
The most recent theft happened at 3:44 a.m. on Thursday, and police say the thieves backed a stolen white GMC pickup truck into a business on Beecher Street and left it at the scene.
