Two suspects are in custody after a targeted shooting in Coquitlam Monday night.
Shortly before 10:20 p.m. several shots were fired at an unoccupied vehicle in front of a home in the 1200-block of Thomas Avenue in Maillardville, after which the suspects fled.
A person living in the home said the suspect vehicle was an older black SUV; the description was distributed to all Lower Mainland police agencies and shortly after 11 p.m. the same evening Surrey RCMP located a vehicle matching that description.
"Officers conducted a stop and took the two occupants into custody," said Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Phillipson. They also noted a visible firearm in the SUV.
The two parties involved know each other, Phillipson said, "which played into us being able to locate that specific vehicle."
Surrey RCMP transported the suspects back to Coquitlam, where they remain in custody.
Police have also seized the SUV and the investigation continues.
