Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating a targeted arson that caused extensive damage to three large trucks at Elegant Glass & Shower Mirrors in Surrey early Monday morning.
The incident occurred shortly after 4:30 a.m. on January 21, 2025. SPS Frontline officers arrived to find Surrey Fire Service already on the scene, working to extinguish fires engulfing three separate five-ton box trucks. Fortunately, no other vehicles or nearby structures were affected.
While the motive remains unclear, evidence collected by SPS’s Frontline Investigative Support Team suggests the act was deliberate. Investigators believe two suspects, both possibly males aged 16 to 40, were involved. The suspects were dressed in black and wore face coverings. They reportedly fled the scene in a dark-colored sedan.
SPS is urging anyone with information about the incident or the suspects to come forward. The investigation remains ongoing.
