A Lower Mainland business owner says she's worried she's being targeted after two stolen trucks slammed into two different locations of her car dealership, just minutes apart.

 

But Jessica Phan says she doesn’t know why anyone would target her – and is vowing to keep Vancouver Auto Liquidation  open and selling cars.

 

“I’m just trying to be as positive as possible about this. I don’t know how else to react. It’s a shocker,” Phan told CTV News.

 

“I’m trying to figure it all out. We have security guards. And I’m trying to locate as much security footage as possible.”

In the first incident, a stolen hydro-vac truck slammed through gates around the property on the Langley Bypass Wednesday morning. The vehicle pushed aside two parked cars and hit the dealership building before it burst into flames, authorities said.

The driver left the scene – leaving fire crews to clean up the mess, and shutting the road for hours. 

“Early indications are that one person was seen fleeing from the truck,” said Langley RCMP Sgt. Alex Mulvihill. “No idea what their motivation was. They didn’t stick around to tell us.”

The fire was initially reported around 2:45 a.m. More than 30 firefighters were on scene throughout the morning.

 

“When crews arrived they found the truck was on fire but it had spread to the rest of the building,” said Langley City Fire Chief Rory Thompson.

 

“We immediately raised it to a third alarm, calling in firefighters from the township,” he said. “The roof has come down in the main section of the building.”

The fire was initially reported around 2:45 a.m. More than 30 firefighters were on scene throughout the morning.

The truck bore the markings of Super Save Group, a Langley hydro-vac company with its headquarters about five minutes east on the Langley Bypass.

 

 

Just half an hour later, a pickup truck bearing the markings of Fraser River Pile and Dredge slammed through a garage door at 53rd Avenue in Surrey – another Vancouver Auto Liquidation Center location.

 

Crews were called to the scene, but the damage wasn’t as severe, Phan said, adding the whole thing is a mystery.

 

“I don’t even know what a hydro-vac truck is or how to steal one,” Phan said. “Not a clue.”

 

She told her customers on Facebook that none of their personal information was compromised as servers are on the cloud.

 

“We will rebuild and carry on. If anyone thinks they can get us down and we are going to stop selling quality vehicles they are sadly mistaken. We will be back bigger and better than before!” she wrote.
