Three Men Sentenced After Surrey Extortion-Linked Shooting
SURREY, B.C. — Three men have been sentenced to prison after admitting their roles in an extortion-related shooting that shook a Surrey neighbourhood earlier this year.
The Surrey Police Service announced that all three accused pleaded guilty in connection with a shooting that took place near Crescent Beach in February. The case moved quickly through the courts, resulting in significant jail terms for each offender.
Guilty Pleas Lead to Prison Sentences
Nineteen-year-old Taranveer Singh received a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to reckless discharge of a firearm.
Meanwhile, 21-year-olds Dayajeet Singh and Harjot Singh were sentenced for throwing an explosive substance. Dayajeet Singh received 27 months in prison, while Harjot Singh was handed a 25-month sentence.
The guilty pleas were entered in Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday.
Shooting Happened During Police Patrol
The incident unfolded during the early morning hours of Feb. 1, 2026, in the area of Crescent Road and 132 Street.
At the time, officers from the Surrey Police Service’s major crime section and the anti-extortion unit, known as Project Assurance, were actively patrolling the neighbourhood. Then, gunshots rang out near a residence close to Crescent Beach.
As a result, officers responded immediately and began searching for those involved.
Suspects Arrested Soon After Incident
Police say the three suspects were located and arrested shortly after the shooting. Investigators found them not far from the scene, allowing authorities to move quickly with the case.
Because officers were already in the area conducting anti-extortion patrols, the response was swift. Consequently, investigators were able to gather evidence and advance the case without delay.
Ongoing Focus on Extortion Investigations
The case highlights the continued efforts of Surrey police to address extortion-related crimes across the region. Project Assurance was created to combat these offences and support investigations connected to threats, violence, and intimidation.
With the guilty pleas now entered and sentences imposed, the criminal proceedings against the three men have reached a significant conclusion.
Police continue to encourage residents to report suspicious activity as authorities work to curb extortion-related violence in Surrey and surrounding communities.
