B.C. Extortion Task Force provides update

Extortion-linked violence in Surrey raises concerns over foreign interference, expert says
Description
January 17, 2026
Extortion-related violence in Surrey, B.C. is raising concerns the activity may extend beyond organized crime, according to a criminology expert. Wade Diceman told Global News recent shootings and online threats could signal foreign interference by proxy rather than purely gang-driven extortion. He says the violence is creating fear across the Indo-Canadian community and should be treated as a broader Canadian public safety issue.
