From August through October, Surrey recorded no extortion-related shootings, the Vancouver Sun reported.

That is the longest the city has gone without one since the issue ramped up in the summer of 2025. For Surrey residents and others across Metro Vancouver who have followed the problem since then, it is a stretch of quiet that has not been seen since the problem escalated.

Police are not slowing down their efforts despite the lull, according to the Sun's headline on the story.
