Police in Surrey evacuated a residential Cloverdale neighbourhood Monday morning after reports of shots fired.
But early Monday afternoon police said they now believed they were dealing with a case of fireworks being set off.
Surrey RCMP officers and the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team (ERT) were called to the home near 194 Street on 71A Avenue just after 9 a.m.
“Officers attended the residence and attempted to speak to the occupants of the home,” Surrey RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Elenore Sturko said in a media release.
