That’s how Delta Police are describing a series of pellet gun assaults in Tsawwassen that are now under investigation.
According to a news release, police say between July 12 and 15, the department has received three separate “assault with a weapon” reports in Tsawwassen.

“Each call involved youths/young adults driving in a grey or silver BMW sedan, shooting a pellet/BB gun at pedestrians,” said DPD spokesperson A/Insp. James Sandberg. “There is no known relation between any of the victims. No serious injuries have occurred. These intentional actions are reckless and dangerous.”
