Richmond RCMP are asking for home surveillance or dashcam video after gunshots were heard in Hamilton on Feb. 1.
Police said officers were called to the 22300-block of Chaldecott Drive around 12:30 a.m. on Monday after residents reported hearing multiple gunshots.
According to the Richmond RCMP, reports suggested that gunfire was exchanged between occupants of two separate vehicles that were in the area.
The vehicles were seen leaving the scene at a “high rate of speed” when police arrived.
No injuries have been reported.
“The investigation is still in its early stages, and investigators are back in the area today speaking with local residents,” said Cpl. Ian Henderson, spokesperson for the Richmond RCMP, adding that police are asking witnesses to come forward.
“Residents in the area are also encouraged to check their home surveillance and vehicle dash-cams to see if they may have captured the incident on video,” said Henderson.
Insp. Michael Cohee, officer-in-charge of Investigative Services, said every resident in the Hamilton area has “every right to be concerned” given that the neighbourhood is typically quiet.
“Richmond RCMP is committed to promoting safety in our communities, and will continue to actively undertake public safety initiatives within the Hamilton area,” said Cohee, adding the police are “actively investigating” the incident.
Police have not said if this is related to the recent gang shootings in the Lower Mainland.
Richmond has had two fatal shootings in early January that were linked to an ongoing gang conflict in the Lower Mainland.
