Gunfire broke out at the home in the 2800-block of 154 Street around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 1.

In a media release, Surrey Mounties said they searched a home on 140 Street near 77 Avenue on Tuesday, where they seized three guns and multiple electronic devices.

Officers also arrested two 16-year-old boys for careless use of a firearm and discharging a firearm with intent.

The two have been subsequently released, and no charges have been laid.

Last Thursday, leaders in the B.C. Sikh community said the home belonged to a prominent Sikh activist with ties to murdered Gurdwara president Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

At a press conference, BC Gurdwaras Council spokesperson Moninder Singh said two shooters had fired more than a dozen bullets at the home, narrowly missing a six-year-old boy.
