Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 10 Jun, 2026 11:42 AM

Police in Surrey say three men have pleaded guilty and been sentenced over charges stemming from an extortion-related shooting back in February.

The Surrey Police Service says Taranveer Singh got a five-year sentence for reckless discharge of a firearm, while Dayajeet Singh and Harjot Singh received 27 months and 25 months respectively for throwing an explosive substance.

Police say in a statement that the three men were arrested in the early morning hours of Feb. 1, 2026 after a reported shooting outside a home near Crescent Beach.

They say officers with the major crime section and those assigned to the anti-extortion unit known as Project Assurance, were patrolling the neighbourhood when gunfire rang out near Crescent Road and 132 Street.

The statement says the three men were arrested shortly after, not far from where the shooting occurred.

It says Harjot Singh and Dayajeet Singh, both 21, and Taranveer Singh, 19, pleaded guilty in Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday.
