RCMP have arrested two men and a woman in connection with a botched armed robbery at a Surrey, B.C., jewelry store that left a man with multiple gunshot wounds.

The incident happened on the evening of Feb. 18, at a shop in Impact Plaza near 152 Street and 101 Avenue.

According to the store’s manager, the robbers sent a woman in as a fake customer first, in order to get through the business’ security double doors.

When she left, a group of four men and a woman rushed in brandishing a gun, the manager said. His business partner’s husband was in the store and confronted the assailants, only to be shot multiple times, he added.
