British Columbia shooting: Three foreign nationals arrested

 

 

Police have charged three foreign nationals in connection with a shooting in British Columbia. They were arrested by the RCMP’s new ‘Extortion Response Team’. This special unit was formed to deal with the increasing number of extortion cases in the province.

Investigators said the current shooting is linked to money laundering activities. The arrests were made during a police operation targeting violent gangs. The suspects are facing multiple charges, including weapons laws. Police believe the arrested individuals may have ties to other criminal gangs. The RCMP said the arrests are a major step forward in the fight against organized crime. The investigation is ongoing to determine if more people were involved in the incident.

The Extortion Response Team became active in British Columbia in late 2025. Authorities have advised that if you notice any threats or suspicious activity, you should immediately report it to the police. The case will proceed in court as more evidence is collected.
