Three Charged in Surrey Extortion-Linked Shooting as CBSA Joins Probe

Police cite an ongoing extortion surge in Surrey, with border officials involved because the accused are foreign nationals.

Overview

  • Harjot Singh, 21, Taranveer Singh, 19, and Dayajeet Singh Billing, 21, each face one count of discharging a firearm into a place under Section 244.2(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.
  • The arrests followed 3:50 a.m. reports of shots fired and a small fire outside an occupied Crescent Beach home near Crescent Road and 132 Street, with no injuries reported.
  • SPS officers on Project Assurance patrols detained the suspects near 28 Avenue and 140 Street after they entered a rideshare vehicle, and the Major Crime Section assumed the investigation.
  • All three are foreign nationals, CBSA has been engaged, and the accused remain in custody with a next court date on February 5.
  • Police report 46 extortion files this year in Surrey, including 11 shootings and one arson, and have released photos while seeking tips and CCTV or dashcam footage from the public.
