GURSEWAK Singh has been charged with a number of Criminal Code offences following separate investigations by Surrey Police Service (SPS) and Abbotsford Police Department for incidents that took place in Surrey and Abbotsford in December 2025.

On December 14, 2025, at approximately 2:30 a.m., SPS frontline officers responded to reports of shots fired at a business located in the 8000-block of 120 Street in Surrey. Police confirmed damage to the building was caused by gunshots. The business, which had received extortion threats, was occupied at the time. Fortunately, none of the staff present were injured.

On December 15, 2025, at approximately 2:05 a.m., SPS frontline officers responded to a business parking lot in the 12400-block of Old Yale Road, Surrey, where two vehicles had been lit on fire, causing significant damage. This business had also received extortion threats.

On December 17, 2025, members of the Abbotsford Police Department arrested Gursewak Singh immediately after a shooting incident on King Road.

The SPS Organized Crime Unit worked with APD investigators and were able to identify a common suspect in all three incidents.

  • Discharge of a firearm at a place, knowing or being reckless as to whether another person was present
  • Possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm without a license or registration

  • Occupying a vehicle knowing there was a firearm present
  • Possession of a firearm without a license or registration
  • Possession of a firearm knowing it was without a licence or registration
