Dozens of shootings have been reported in Surrey so far this year, many of which have been attributed to a new drug-related conflict.

There were 53 confirmed shootings in 2016 in the city as of Dec. 17. Police are also investigating a bullet hole found in a window of the Surrey RCMP detachment, though officers have not yet determined when that shooting occurred.

The majority of the shootings have been in the Newton area, followed by the City Centre and Guildford neighbourhood.
