After a video circulating on social media showed individuals dancing with guns, Surrey RCMP reports that the firearms have been seized.
Police saw the video on Thursday (Aug. 1) that was claiming to have been filmed in Surrey showing several individuals dancing at an event, with a few individuals, including the camera person, bearing large guns. The video appears to have been filmed outdoors in a tent.
”We understand this incident was extremely alarming to the community at large,” Supt. Harm Dosange, a community services officer for the Surrey RCMP, stated in a news release.
“Public safety is our top priority, and our officers worked quickly to seize the firearms in question.”
The detachment's South Community Response Unit investigated and discovered that the location of the video was South Surrey, the release said.
Later that same day, investigators were able to contact the owners of the property and seize the firearms from the owner, at about 5:30 p.m.
Police state that the individuals in the video have not been located yet while the investigation continues.
Surrey RCMP ask anyone with information regarding the video or the identity of those appearing in it to contact them at 604-599-0502, quoting file number 2024-112686.
