Mounties in Richmond are investigating separate, late-night shootings that have left a house, vehicle and garage peppered with bullets.

A statement from R-C-M-P says the first shooting in the 6300 block of Chelmsford Street happened more than two weeks ago, on August 27th, and the second occurred on August 29th.

The neighbourhood is densely populated, and police say they’ve added significant resources to the investigation and in the neighbourhood but no arrests have been made.

The statement appeals for information or any dashcam or video footage that could help the investigation.
