Police in Surrey are asking those with information about a shooting that happened in the Newton area of the city this weekend to come forward.

They say officers responded to reports of shots fired outside a home at around 1:30 a.m. yesterday and discovered bullets in a vehicle parked in the driveway and the side of the house.

Police say several residents were asleep inside the home at the time but no one was injured.

They say two suspects, who are described as adults wearing dark clothing, were seen running away from the scene.
