SURREY, B.C. - Surrey Police Service (SPS) officers arrested a man and seized a loaded handgun after a traffic stop in central Surrey early Sunday, police say.
On November 8, 2026, at approximately 1:37 a.m., an SPS Frontline officer observed a white Porsche in the area accelerating, driving through a red light and evading police. With the assistance of SPS Project Assurance members, the vehicle was successfully stopped, and the driver was identified and arrested. A search of the vehicle after the arrest located a loaded firearm inside.
Charges have now been approved against Paramveer Singh Deol, an 18-year-old from Surrey. The eight charges approved by the BC Prosecution Service are:
- Failing to stop for police
- Operating a vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public
- Occupying a vehicle with firearm inside
- Possession of a loaded firearm without a licence
- Possession of a prohibited, restricted or non-restricted firearm without a registration certificate
- Careless transport of a firearm, 9mm pistol
- Failure to comply with release order by possessing a firearm
- Failure to comply with release order by occupying the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle
Deol is currently in custody awaiting a bail hearing. The charges have not been proven in court.
Why this matters
Two of the eight charges allege Deol was already bound by a court release order that barred him from possessing a firearm and from occupying the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle, which would make Sunday’s stop a breach on top of the new driving and firearms allegations. Loaded, unlicensed handguns in vehicles are the seizure Surrey officers say they are most focused on taking off the road, and this one came out of a car that had run a red light and tried to evade police in the middle of the night.
The Surrey Police Service is Surrey’s municipal police service. Its Frontline officers answer emergency calls across the city, and its Project Assurance members assisted in this stop.
How to share information
Anyone with information about this incident or the suspect involved is asked to contact SPS on its non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-121265 (SP).
