KEY POINTS

  • Five men charged after 16-month RCMP investigation (Project E_PURSUANCE)
  • Investigation triggered by extortion demands against auto dealership co-owners
  • Two targeted attacks involving arson and shootings occurred in summer 2025
  • Suspects arrested at Pearson Airport and in Surrey on Oct. 1
  • Charges include extortion, arson, firearms offences, and drug trafficking

Langley RCMP arrested five men on Oct. 1 following a 16-month investigation dubbed Project E_PURSUANCE. The probe began after co-owners of an auto dealership reported significant extortion demands, which escalated to two targeted attacks involving arson and shootings at their Surrey and Langley locations in summer 2025.

One suspect, 23-year-old Sanket Singla, was taken into custody upon arrival at Pearson International Airport. Four others were arrested in Surrey. The BC Prosecution Service laid charges under the Criminal Code and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

“The RCMP's position was we were going to target the higher levels of the extortion and hold them accountable.”

— Langley RCMP Supt. Harm Dosange

Singla faces charges including extortion, two counts of recklessly discharging a firearm, two counts of arson, and throwing an explosive substance. Sahil, a 24-year-old Surrey resident, is charged with extortion, arson, multiple firearms trafficking counts, and two counts of trafficking cocaine.

Supt. Harm Dosange stated the operation seized numerous firearms and drugs suspected to be cocaine, fentanyl, and opium. He emphasized the RCMP's focus on targeting the higher levels of extortion networks to hold them accountable.
