Mounties have identified five men believed to be involved in a string of shootings in Surrey this week.

There have been six shootings that put three men in hospital since early Tuesday morning, and investigators believe four of the attacks are related.

The people involved are tied to low-level drug crime, not gangs, according to the RCMP, but Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said they are still dangerous.

“These people are clearly violent and have shown a complete disregard for public safety,” Fordy said.

Mounties are asking the public for information on five men: 20-year-old Pardip Brar, 21-year-old Indervir Johal, 20-year-old Amrit Kular,20-year-old Pardeep Singh, and 20-year-old Sameh Mohammed.

All are known to police and all live in Surrey save for Brar, who is a Delta resident.

The RCMP is also searching for three vehicles, a black Acura TL, a white SUV, and a grey Volkswagen Passat or Jetta.

The victims, all of whom were men, have been treated in hospital and released. Mounties said they have been uncooperative, and it’s too soon to say what the motives could have been for the shootings.

“Sometimes it’s over a $25 debt,” Fordy said.

Surrey’s week of shocking violence started around 4 a.m. Tuesday, when a 20-year-old man was dropped off at a hospital with gunshot wounds. The RCMP has yet to determine where his shooting took place.

Later that day, another 20-year-old man was injured in a shooting near 127th Street and 78 Avenue.

Shots rang out in the same area Tuesday night, and again on Wednesday afternoon but no injuries were reported.

The last two shootings in Surrey, including one that targeted a 28-year-old Langley man late Wednesday night, aren’t believed to be connected to the others, but have still contributed to a sense of unease among many residents this week.

“When you in broad daylight hear gunshots in your community, that’s just unacceptable,” Surrey Councillor Bruce Hayne said.

Anyone with information on any of the shootings is asked to call the Surrey RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers immediately.
