A stray bullet came through the window of a Surrey home on Thursday morning.

Overview

  • The latest shooting took place early Thursday near 57 Avenue and 148 Street when officers responded just after 4 a.m.; no one was injured and a homeowner reported a stray bullet pierced a window and entered a door frame.
  • The same residence was previously shot at on May 20, a repetition that has led police to treat the June 4 incident as a targeted extortion attempt.
  • The home is owned by Cricket Canada president Arvinder Khosa, and reporting notes that Cricket Canada and some linked figures were the subject of an April investigative report that raised allegations now denied by those named.
  • Surrey Police Service’s extortion response team is leading the probe and has asked the public to submit CCTV or dash‑cam footage or tips quoting file 26-56002; the City of Surrey has a $250,000 reward fund for tips in extortion cases.
  • The attack forms part of a larger pattern of more than 100 extortion-related shootings in Surrey this year that have targeted members of B.C.’s South Asian community and intensified concern about local safety.
