Overview
- Surrey Police said officers responded at about 3:43 a.m. PT on October 16 to the 8400 block of 120 Street, found Kap’s Cafe hit by numerous bullets, and confirmed staff were inside but unharmed.
- Circulating video shows a gunman firing multiple rounds from a moving vehicle at the cafe’s glass facade as investigators work to authenticate and analyze the footage.
- Social-media posts attributed to associates of the Lawrence Bishnoi network, naming Goldy Dhillon and Kulveer/Kulvir/Kuldeep Sidhu, claimed responsibility and issued threats, which police are assessing for authenticity and motive.
- Specialist teams — the Frontline Investigative Support Team and the Integrated Forensic Identification Service — were deployed as an SPS spokesperson said the case bears the earmarks of extortion.
- The gunfire marks the third attack since July 10 and August 7; media and officials note Canada’s September 29 terrorist designation of the Bishnoi gang as relevant context for the ongoing investigation.
