Extortion-Linked Shooting Investigated at Surrey Home; No Injuries Reported

Darpan News Desk Darpan, 04 Jun, 2026 11:20 AM

Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating an early morning shooting outside a South Newton residence that authorities believe may be connected to an ongoing extortion-related case.

Police responded to reports of shots fired shortly after 4 a.m. on June 4, 2026, in the area of 57 Avenue and 148 Street. Frontline officers arriving at the scene discovered evidence of gunfire outside a home that was occupied at the time of the incident.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

According to SPS, the shooting is believed to be linked to previous threats made against the residents and a separate shots-fired incident that occurred at the same property on May 20, 2026.

Given the suspected connection to extortion activity, the Surrey Police Service’s Extortion Response Team (ExRT) has assumed conduct of the investigation. Officers from Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS) are also processing the scene and collecting physical and digital evidence.

The investigation remains in its early stages, and police are appealing to the public for assistance.

Anyone with information about the shooting, including CCTV footage, dashcam video, or information that could help identify those responsible, is asked to contact the Surrey Police Service non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-56002 (SP). Anonymous tips can also be provided through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Testy B.C. election campaign sees leaders attacking each other more than policy

British Columbia's election campaign enters its final day in what is viewed as a too-close-to-call contest where David Eby's New Democrats and the B.C. Conservatives led by John Rustad debated big issues of housing, health care, affordability and the overdose crisis, but also tangled over plastic straws and a billionaire’s billboards. The two main party leaders spent a lot of time telling voters why they shouldn't vote for the other rather than presenting their own case for support.
