Police in Surrey are investigating an overnight shooting at a home in Surrey’s Bear Creek neighbourhood that is believed to be extortion-related.
Police responded to a call at 2:20 a.m. Saturday (Jan. 17) of shots fired outside of a home in the 8600 block of Galway Crescent.
Upon arrival, police found that the home had been damaged by gunfire. There were no injuries even though the home was occupied at the time of the shooting.
