SURREY RCMP are investigating another shooting in the Clayton area of Surrey.

On Tuesday (August 8), Surrey RCMP were called to the 7000-block of 180th Street for a report of shots fired. Police located a vehicle and a garage door that had been struck by bullets. The vehicle was occupied at the time, however, no injuries were reported. The suspect was on a motorcycle that fled the area prior to police arrival.
