Police say they’re investigating a fresh case of suspected extortion-related violence in Surrey, B.C., after a business was shot at in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The Surrey Police Service (SPS) said it received reports of shots being fired at a business in the 8000 block of King George Boulevard at about 2:10 a.m. PT. Wednesday.

When officers arrived, they found the business damaged, SPS said in a news release.

“Fortunately, nobody was injured as a result of the incident,” it said.

SPS hasn’t identified the business that was hit. The block where the shooting occurred includes a gas station, several restaurants and a hotel, among numerous other businesses.

Police said the motive remains under investigation, but the shooting is believed to be extortion related.

It’s the latest in a string of violent incidents in Surrey this week.

On Sunday, a house was shot at for the second time in what police say is an extortion-related case. The following day, a man was discovered dead in a house fire and on Tuesday, a man was found shot to death in a rural area.

Homicide investigators are looking into both deaths, but police said Monday’s is not tied to extortion. They haven’t yet released details on the circumstances around Tuesday’s.

Extortion crime has been on the rise in cities like Surrey, Abbotsford and Delta, where people in predominantly South Asian communities are receiving threats and demands for money.

There were more than 100 reports of extortion across those three cities in 2025 alone, dozens of of which involved shots fired at homes and businesses.

The SPS’s major crime section is conducting the investigation into the King George Boulevard shooting.

It’s asking anyone with information, including CCTV or dashcam footage, to contact SPS’s non-emergency line at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca, and to quote file 26-4396 (SP).
