Delta police say they arrested a youth from Surrey after shooting at a home in Tsawwassen early Thursday morning.
Police say they believe the home was a mistaken target.
In a statement, police say they responded to reports of shots being fired at a residential street around 3:25 a.m. The home was occupied but no one was harmed.
“Although a house appears to be specifically targeted, the investigators currently believe that this residence and its occupants are mistaken targets,” said acting inspector James Sandberg. “The occupants are not known to the police and have no apparent connection to organized crime or the youth involved in the shooting. There are indications that the previous resident of this house is the intended target of this morning’s shooting.”

The youth, who is known to the police, will be facing several firearm charges.
Meanwhile, officers say “releasing information that can lead to the identity of the youth involved is prohibited under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.”
Police remained in the area in the morning to collect evidence, and are also going door-to-door to collect videos and identify witnesses.
