Police have arrested a 28-year-old man following a string of late-night shootings in Surrey and Delta that left several vehicles and a residence damaged. No injuries were reported.

Surrey RCMP say shots were fired at three locations Saturday night – the 6900-block of 127A Street, the 12900-block of 73A Avenue, and the 6600-block of 132 Street. Less than an hour later, Delta Police responded to a similar report near the 7900-block of 114A Street, which investigators believe is connected.

Corporal Vanessa Munn, Surrey RCMP spokesperson, said the incidents appear linked. “All four incidents are believed to be connected to one suspect who is now in custody. While shots were fired at vehicles and a home, thankfully nobody was injured,” she said.

Investigators say the shootings are not believed to be connected to the Lower Mainland gang conflict. Surrey city councillors have previously debated community safety funding and will revisit the issue in upcoming budget discussions as residents demand reassurance after repeated violent incidents.

The shootings also rattled people living nearby. Rahul Mehta, who has lived in the Newton area for a decade, said the violence disrupts everyday life. “I was getting ready for work when the sirens came through. It’s frustrating because these incidents give the neighbourhood a bad reputation, even though most of us just want to live quietly. People are tired of seeing crime define our community.”

Poilievre accused Joly of failing to protect Ontario’s struggling steel and automotive sectors. He said the federal government had provided billions of dollars in taxpayer funding to major corporations, but when companies cut jobs, the Industry Minister offered only empty threats of legal action without taking concrete steps. Poilievre held Joly directly responsible for the government’s failure to protect Can
