Police investigating overnight shooting at Ustaad G76 restaurant in South Surrey

Shots were fired at the Ustaad G76 restaurant in South Surrey at around 2:20am this morning. Staff Sergeant Lindsey Houghton from Surrey Police Service confirmed that the business had suffered damage in the incident.

Staff Sgt. Houghton said, “no one was present at the business at the time of the incident and no one was injured.” Police received a report of shots fired at a business located in the 2100 block of King George Boulevard at approximately 2:15 a.m.

There is a motel right behind this restaurant and a gas station right besides it, and given such a location, the shooting incident raises questions regarding safety and security.

When Connect FM team assessed the scene at around 10am, the restaurant was covered with yellow tape and officers were on the scene. Staff Sgt. Houghton said, “officers will remain on the scene today and will be collecting physical and digital evidence.”

There had been previous shooting at the Maple Ridge location of the same business. Staff Sgt. Houghton said, “the responsibility for this file may eventually fall with the Extortion Task Force.”

During the update provided today, he confirmed that the number of extortion-related files in Surrey has reached 56 and 31 of these cases are related to shootings.
