One shopper told the Langley Advance Times there was a lot of police activity on the west side of the complex, while one of the store staffers said pepper spray had been used in an apparent robbery.
Officers were called around 4:30 p.m. to a report of an alleged robbery.
Emergency crews responded to the area and located a youth victim who appeared to have been assaulted with a weapon. The youth was transported to a local area hospital with serious injuries.
“Officers responded quickly to ensure the safety of everyone in the area,” said Sgt. Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP. “At this time, there is no ongoing risk to the public as this incident appears to be targeted.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident and has not spoken to police yet is asked to contact the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and quote file number 2026-2567.
