THE three men arrested on Sunday, February 1 by Surrey Police Service (SPS) following a shots fired incident are now charged with Criminal Code offences.

Harjot Singh, 21, Taranveer Singh, 19, Dayajeet Singh Billing, 21, have each been charged with one count of discharging a firearm into a place.

The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming. Police had said on Sunday that the incident is believed to be extortion-related.

All three have been remanded in custody until February 5. SPS has confirmed they are all foreign nationals and has engaged the Canada Border Services Agency.

On Sunday, February 1 at approximately 3:50 a.m., SPS members assigned to Project Assurance, working in collaboration with SPS’s Major Crime Section, were patrolling in Surrey’s Crescent Beach neighbourhood when reports came in of shots fired and a small fire outside a residence near Crescent Road and 132 Street.

SPS officers, the Lower Mainland District Integrated Police Dog Service (LMD IPDS), and Delta Police Department officers all responded to assist. SPS officers in the area located a suspect vehicle driving nearby and the occupants of the vehicle fled on foot. A short time later, three suspects were taken into custody near 28 Avenue and 140 Street after getting into a rideshare vehicle.

Surrey Fire Services (SFS) members extinguished the small fire by a fence on the property. There was no reported damage to the house because of the fire. The residence, which was occupied at the time, was confirmed to be damaged by gunfire. There were no reported injuries.

SPS’s Major Crime Section took over the investigation. Two vehicles were also seized by investigators.

SPS is asking anyone who has information on this incident, including CCTV or dashcam footage, to contact SPS’s non-emergency number at 604-599-0502 and quote file 26-10642 (SP).

SPS is releasing the photos of Harjot Singh, Taranveer Singh, and Darajeet Singh Billing after determining that the disclosure is necessary to assist with the ongoing police investigation.

SPS hopes that the public release of images of Harjot Singh, Taranveer Singh, and Darajeet Singh Billing prompts additional witnesses, victims, or associates to come forward with relevant information regarding the activities of one or more on the morning of or before February 1.

In September 2025, the Surrey Extortion Reward Fund of $250,000 was established to offer individuals with key information the ability to collect a reward if charges and convictions of those responsible for these crimes are secured.
