Possible gang link to latest Surrey shooting: RCMP

  • Possible gang link to latest Surrey shooting: RCMP

Police are investigating a shooting and separate vehicle fire in Surrey, B.C.

RCMP say a home and vehicle in the Fleetwood neighbourhood were hit by several bullets just after 9 p.m. Monday.

No one was hurt but investigators say the residents of the home are known to police and have ties to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.

Officers responding to the shooting say a dark-coloured Chrysler 300 was seen speeding from the area.

A vehicle matching the same description was found on fire about four kilometres away.

Police say they are hoping for the co-operation of the suspected victims of the shooting and want to speak to anyone with dashcam video or other information about the crimes.
