Langley RCMP are investigating a report of shots being fired Monday night on 56th Avenue.
At about 11 p.m., someone fired a number of shots at buildings on a property in the 22600 block of 56th Avenue. People were on the property at the time, but it's unclear if they were in the buildings.
No one was injured, said Cpl. Patrick Davies.
"We do not believe this to be a random act," Davies said.
Police closed off the road from 232nd Street to 224th Street Tuesday morning, while officers investigated the scene.
Police did not have a description of a suspect or a vehicle to release, and no arrests had been made.
BANK ROBBERY
Langley RCMP are investigating a robbery at the TD Bank on Willowbrook Drive Wednesday afternoon.
Two men, described as wearing hoodies, entered the bank just after 2: 30 p.m., said Staff Sgt. Dave Carr.
The suspects held up the bank for an undisclosed amount of cash and apparently fled on foot.
No one was hurt in the robbery, and no vehicle was seen, said Carr.
Witnesses can call the RCMP at 604532-3200.
