Original story: 

SURREY – Police in Surrey say a 21-year-old man and a 20-year-old man, both foreign nationals, have been arrested and charged following an incident of alleged shots fired early Monday morning near 129 Street and 84 Avenue in Surrey.

According to a statement from Surrey Police Service Staff Sergeant Lindsey Houghton, SPS members assigned to Project Assurance, working in collaboration with SPS’s Major Crime Section, were in the area of 129 Street and 84 Avenue Monday morning, Jan. 26 at about 3:50 a.m., when they heard what they believed was a gun shot. SPS officers quickly located a suspect vehicle and stopped it, taking the driver and a passenger into custody. During the arrests, a loaded handgun was discovered and seized.

It should be noted that Project Assurance is a law enforcement initiative in which SPS proactively patrols neighbourhoods and business areas targeted by extortions and extortion-related shootings.
