SURREY – Two foreign nationals have been arrested and charged in a case of shots fired at a Surrey, B.C., home linked to the recent wave of extortion violence in the city. 

Police say officers, border agents, and a tactical response team raided two homes on June 12 following an investigation of the shooting that took place the day before.

Police say they arrested four men, all foreign nationals, with two of those facing extortion-violence- related charges.

The accused are 21-year-old Arman Singh and 22-year-old Simarjeet Singh, who are both facing a single charge of reckless discharge of a firearm and will next appear in court on Monday.

The two other men arrested have not been charged but are in the custody of the Canada Border Services Agency.

The latest figures show there have been 128 reported cases of extortion violence in Surrey this year, including 20 cases of shots fired and two arsons.

The shooting that led to the latest arrests was reported on June 11 at 5:30 a.m. at a home near 96 Avenue and 133A Street, where the building’s exterior was damaged by gunfire.

Police say the home was occupied at the time but no one was injured. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2026.
