Surrey: Shots fired for the second time on Kap's Cafe

Gunfire struck Kap’s Café early Tuesday morning, less than a month after the same Surrey business was first attacked in July.

Police say shots were fired at about 4:40 a.m. at the café near 85 Avenue and 120 Street. No one was injured, but windows were shattered and bullet holes were visible near the entrance. The café, which reopened just 10 days after the July 10 shooting, has now closed again.

Connect FM spoke with Staff Sergeant Lindsey Houghton, who confirmed investigators are looking into whether extortion may be a factor. “We are pursuing all leads, including the possibility of organized extortion. We are urging anyone with information to come forward,” he said.

Houghton acknowledged concerns about Surrey’s reputation after the same business was targeted twice. “It is troubling for the community’s image. But the more people come forward, the sooner we can bring those responsible to justice,” he told Connect Newsroom.

Local business owners say repeated attacks undermine confidence. Navdeep Gill, who operates a shop nearby, said customers are already nervous. “When people see crime tape and broken glass, they wonder if it’s safe to come here. That hurts all of us who are trying to keep our businesses running,” he said.
