Police probe a late-night shooting in Cloverdale, Surrey. No injuries reported, but investigators link it to ongoing extortion cases.
A Sudden Jolt in the Quiet Hours
Just after midnight calm gave way to chaos in Cloverdale. At about 2:20 a.m. on January 11, 2026, gunfire shattered the silence on the 18700 block of 54 Avenue. As a result, residents woke up to flashing lights and police tape. Thankfully, no one inside the targeted home was hurt.
Police Rush In Quickly
RCMP officers from the Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit arrived fast after reports of shots fired. Once on scene, they found a house damaged by gunfire. However, they confirmed that everyone was safe. Because of that, attention shifted right away to finding who was responsible.
Investigators Take Control
Soon after, the RCMP’s General Investigation Unit stepped in and took charge of the case. While the probe remains in its early stages, officers continue to collect evidence. Meanwhile, they are reviewing the scene carefully and following leads as they emerge.
A Troubling Pattern Emerges
This shooting did not come out of nowhere. In fact, the same home was targeted just days earlier, on December 31, 2025. Because of that history, police believe this latest incident ties into a wider series of extortion-related crimes unfolding across Surrey. As those cases grow, concern in the community continues to rise.
