Mounties in Richmond are appealing for information after what they describe as an “alleged brazen nighttime break-in” at a mall last week.

Officers were called to the mall on the 5300 block of No. 3 Road around 3:15 a.m. on Nov. 5, Richmond RCMP said in a statement Thursday.

“It was reported that a black Kia SUV drove through the entrance doors of the mall and attempted to gain entry to a jewelry store,” the statement said.

“After the suspects were unable to gain entry to the store they fled from the shopping mall in the vehicle.”

Authorities say no one was injured but there was a restaurant open at the time with customers inside.

Witnesses and people with dash-cam video from the area at the time are urged to call 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2025-35377.
