ON Thursday at 7:42 a.m., Abbotsford Police patrol officers responded to the 2100-block of Holly Street after receiving reports of shots being fired in the area. The suspects fled the area in a red sedan before police arrival.

Officers confirmed that a residence had been shot at, but fortunately, there were no injuries reported. Police believe this incident was targeted.

Just before 8 a.m., a vehicle fire was reported to police at the closed Bradner Rest Stop. Officers arrived and learned from witnesses that individuals were seen running from what is believed to be the suspect vehicle. A containment operation was set up, leading to a significant police presence in the area.

The Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service (IPDS) was called in to assist, resulting in two men being located and arrested. Those men currently remain in police custody. Investigators believe that a third suspect remains outstanding and was last seen in the area of Highway 1 and Bradner Road.

The Abbotsford Police’s Major Crime Unit is leading this investigation, with support from the Forensic Identification Unit and additional frontline officers. Investigators are asking for witnesses and any dashcam footage from drivers who were in the vicinity of both locations to come forward and speak to police.
