At about 3:50 a.m., officers from a group that patrols neighbourhoods and businesses that have been targeted by extortions and shootings heard what sounded like a gunshot in the area of 129th Street and 84th Avenue. The officers quickly spotted and pulled over a vehicle and arrested the driver and a passenger.

“During the arrests, a loaded handgun was discovered and seized,” said Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton in a news release Tuesday.
The major crime section took over the investigation and charges have now been laid against two men.
Harshdeep Singh, 20, has been charged with one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and one count of occupying a vehicle knowing a firearm is present. Hanspreet Singh, 21, has been charged with one count of occupying a vehicle knowing a firearm is present.
The investigation continues and Houghton said more charges are possible.
Both men are being held in custody until Friday. Houghton said because they’re both foreign nationals, the Surrey Police Service has been in contact with the Canada Border Services Agency.
Anyone with information about this incident, including security or dashcam footage, is asked to call the SPS non-emergency line at 604-599-0502.
