ABBOTSFORD — A 17-year-old has been arrested in a series of pellet or airsoft gun attacks targeting pedestrians in the Fraser Valley.

Police in Abbotsford, B.C., say the attacks happened on Wednesday evening, when they received five separate calls.

They say each of the victims described being approached by a light-coloured SUV occupied by "younger South Asian males."

Victims told police they either heard the sound of shots being fired or saw a firearm inside the vehicle.

Police say one person suffered a minor injury consistent with being struck by pellets.

They say the teen was driving the vehicle, which was also located.
