Three men have been sentenced in connection with an extortion-related shooting and arson at a home in the Crescent Beach neighbourhood in February, the Surrey Police Service (SPS) says.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 1, officers were called to a home near Crescent Road and 132 Street shortly before 4 a.m. after reports of shots fired and a small fire at the property, the SPS says.<\/p>\n

Police say three men were arrested a short time later after attempting to get away in a rideshare vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very quickly able to get these three in custody, so the investigation was pretty much wrapped up right from the beginning,\u201d Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton told 1130 NewsRadio.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen our investigators were focused on gathering the evidence so Crown Counsel could lay the appropriate charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the three were sentenced in Surrey Provincial Court.<\/p>\n

Taranveer Singh, who pleaded guilty to reckless discharge of a firearm, has been handed a sentence of five years, less time served. Dayajeet Singh Billing and Harjot Singh both pleaded guilty to throwing an explosive substance, receiving sentences of 27 and 25 months, respectively.<\/p>\n

The convictions represent a significant milestone for the SPS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are our first convictions and sentences in the extortion crisis for Surrey Police Service,\u201d Houghton said.<\/p>\n
