Two men and one woman have been arrested in relation to an armed robbery that occurred on February 18, 2024 at jewellery store in Guildford.

On February 18, 2024 at 6:23 pm, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of shots fired at a jewellery store in the 15200-block of 101 Avenue (see previous releases: 2024-02-18 and 2024-02-19). During the robbery, one victim was shot and transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspects involved had fled the area prior to police arriving on scene.

The Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit immediately took conduct of the investigation to identify the suspects and vehicles allegedly involved. On February 27, 2024, two people were arrested in Calgary as a result of investigative efforts.

Thirty-six-year-old Michael Onischuk and 32-year-old Larrissa Cowan are now charged with multiple offences including robbery using a restricted firearm; aggravated assault; intent to maim with a firearm; and unlawful possession of a firearm. They have been remanded until their next court appearance.

On March 1, 2024, a 33-year-old Vancouver male suspect was arrested in Langley for robbery with a firearm. The male was later released without charges pending further investigation.

The Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit’s efforts to locate and arrest the suspects are continuing, including executing search warrants in multiple locations.

As criminals continue to work across seemingly imaginary borders, the Surrey RCMP will continue to use all investigative tools and policing partnerships to seek them out, says Inspector Darren Schneider, Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit. The Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit worked closely with the Calgary Police Service, Vancouver Police Department, Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Services, North Vancouver RCMP, Ridge Meadows RCMP and Hope RCMP. The Surrey RCMP thanks our policing partners who assisted in the advancement of this investigation.
