The bloody drug turf war playing out on the streets of Surrey and Delta has resulted in fresh arrests and dozens of charges, police announced Tuesday.

A combined 35 counts, including trafficking and weapons charges, have been approved against Arman Dhatt, Pardip Brar and Rajvir Sunner, and two other unnamed men have been arrested and released pending further investigation.

Police first announced charges against Dhatt in April, and none of the new charges appear to be directly related to the shootings that have plagued Surrey and Delta for months, but Mounties said there are additional counts being considered.

There have been a staggering 30 shootings reported in the neighbouring Metro Vancouver communities since March 9, half of which have been linked to a rivalry between two groups of low-level drug traffickers.

So far, one has been fatal, claiming the life of Arun Paul Singh Bains, the 22-year-old nephew of NDP MLA Harry Bains.

Surrey Mounties, Delta police and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit are working together in an effort to end the public violence, and boasted Tuesday that they’ve made significant progress through traffic stops.

“Those engaging in this behaviour will be held accountable. These incidents remain our top priority and focus,” Delta Police Acting Chief Lyle Beaudoin said in statement.

Since April 1, officers have checked 499 vehicles and seized a total of 13 weapons and $23,720. They also issued almost 200 violation tickets.

Many vehicles have fled from police, however. Since the beginning of last month, 40 vehicles have failed to stop for officers, including one that rammed a marked CFSEU vehicle.

“These criminals are once again showing a callous disregard for public safety by endangering the lives of the public through their reckless driving,” Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said in a statement.

Police said they don’t engage in car chases when they believe doing so will put bystanders at risk.

Investigators are still working to gather information on the shootings through a dedicated tip line that was set up in April. Anyone with information is asked to call 604-915-6566.
