Two youths have been arrested in relation to a shots fired incident involving a South Surrey home of a Sikh activist who was linked to Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
On Feb. 1, a home in the Sunnyside neighbourhood of Surrey was targeted with bullets just after 1 a.m.
Police responded to reports in the 2800-block of 154 Street, but found that there were no injuries.
Following the incident, the BC Gurdwaras Council shared that the home belonged to Simranjeet Singh, who they say was a close associate of Nijjar, the Sikh temple president who was gunned down last year.
