Two young men connected to the Brothers Keepers gang are facing a series of charges after Surrey RCMP found a restricted firearm in a vehicle that crashed with another car.
Members of Surrey’s Gang Enforcement Unit arrested Gurpreet Multani, 24, and Jaskaran Johal, 21, on Sept. 26 after they jumped from a black Jeep Cherokee that struck a vehicle at 128 Street and 64 Avenue and fled the scene.
“A subsequent search of the suspect vehicle yielded a loaded handgun,” Const. Richard Wright said in a news release.
Johal is charged with several firearms counts, as well as obstruction of a police officer and breach of his recognizance, while Multani is facing counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, obstruction of a police officer, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.
“Both men are known to police, have links to the Brothers Keepers crime group and have been remanded in custody while the investigation continues,” Wright said.
At the time of the arrest, the Gang Enforcement Team was doing patrols in the area.
“Targeted enforcement is enabling our members to make important interdictions like this one which has led to the arrests of two known gang members, and taken a loaded gun out of the hands of criminals,” Insp. Mike Hall said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
