Surrey Police report a rise in extortion cases, with 26 incidents logged by July 29, some of which are historical. Officials attribute the increase to heightened public awareness through forums, media outreach, and a $100,000 provincial grant to Crime Stoppers for a bilingual awareness campaign. Although 12 cases have been officially confirmed in 2025, police believe extortion remains underreported. Several related shootings are under investigation, and two suspects were recently arrested in connection with 2024 incidents. Community leaders and police continue to call for public vigilance and cooperation.
