Surrey RCMP has taken one person into custody after reports of a possible explosion at a house Friday night.

A release said officers were called to a residence near 124 Street and Iona Place just before 6 p.m. after neighbours heard a loud noise.

Sgt. David Park said it’s not clear whether what he described as a “loud bang” was actually an explosion.

“At this point in time it’s still under investigation. We don’t have any actual leads that will pinpoint what caused the loud noise,” he said.
