Three men were arrested a short time later near 28th Avenue and 140th Street. Police said at the time that this was believed to be an extortion-related shooting.
Surrey firefighters put out a small blaze near a fence on the property before it spread toward the house. Investigators confirmed the home, which was occupied, had gunshot damage but there were no reported injuries.
The men — Harjot Singh, 21, Taranveer Singh, 19, and Dayajeet Singh Billing, 21 — all pleaded guilty to charges related to the shooting in Surrey provincial court.
Surrey police say none of the men pleaded guilty to or were sentenced for extortion-related offences. However, the shooting is still believed to be related to extortion crimes.
Taranveer Singh pleaded guilty to reckless discharge of a firearm and received a sentence of five years, less time served, while Dayajeet Singh pleaded guilty to throwing an explosive substance and was handed a sentence of 27 months, less time served.
Harjot Singh also pleaded guilty to throwing an explosive substance and received a sentence of 25 months, less time served.
