Three large trucks damaged in targeted arson in Surrey

SURREY Police Service is investigating a targeted arson that occurred at a Surrey business early Tuesday morning that significantly damaged three large trucks.

Shortly after 4:30 a.m. on January 21, Surrey Police Service frontline officers responded to a report of several large trucks on fire at a business located in the 13300-block of 78 Avenue. When the officers arrived, Surrey Fire Service was on scene and in the process of extinguishing fires on three separate five-ton box trucks belonging to a business. There was no other damage to any vehicles or nearby buildings.

While it is still early in the investigation by Surrey Police Service’s Frontline Investigative Support Team and the motive remains unknown, evidence collected thus far indicates that this is a targeted arson. At this time it is believed that there are two suspects, both possibly males between the ages of 16 and 40, who were dressed all in black and were wearing face covers. It is believed that they left the area in a dark coloured sedan.

If you were in the area of the 13300-block of 78 Avenue between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. on the morning of January 21 and saw anyone suspicious, or have any information, including dashcam footage or CCTV footage, you are requested to call Surrey Police Service at 604-599-0502 and quote file 2025-5896 (SP).
