Police are asking the public for help in locating one person after charges have been laid against two suspects in extortion-related offences.

The BC Prosecution Service laid charges against 26-year-old Abjeet Kingra and 24-year-old Vikram Sharma on Monday.

The Lower Mainland District Joint Force Operation (JFO) says both are charged with the discharge of a firearm with intent and arson in connection with 2024 offences.

According to JFO, it started its investigation into a shooting and arson at the residence of a person who had received extortion threats in Surrey in August 2024.

While Kingra is already in custody for a different incident, Sharma remains at large.
