Surrey RCMP is informing the public about a break-and-enter to a residence where a female was sexually assaulted by an unknown male suspect.
On May 21 at approximately 6:40 am, police were called to the 12900 block of 101A Avenue in Surrey for a report of a break-and-enter to a residence. Upon attendance, Frontline officers spoke with the adult female resident, who reported that she had been sexually assaulted by an unknown male suspect. The female victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
The suspect is described as an unknown male in his mid 30’s with light coloured skin, approximately 5’6” tall, wearing dark coloured clothing.
Police are conducting video and witness canvassing in the area.
Surrey RCMP’s Special Victims Unit has conduct of the investigation and is asking anyone with information to contact police. In addition, anyone who may have CCTV or dash cam footage from the morning of May 21 near the 12900 block of 101A Avenue is asked to contact investigators at 604-599-0502.
Based on an inspection it was determined that the vehicles were intentionally lit on fire. Although this incident appears to be targeted, a motive has not yet been determined and the vehicle owners are not known to police.
There are 329 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 and 51 are in intensive care. In the past 24 hours, eight new deaths have been reported, for an overall total of 2,953.
Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth has appointed a three-person team including two former deputy ministers and a public policy consultant to do the review.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in May 2020 he was banning more than 1,500 models of firearms, including the AR-15. He also announced owners of these guns would have a two-year amnesty period to come into compliance with the prohibition.
In February, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos announced travellers coming to Canada would be able to present a negative rapid-antigen test at the border as an alternative to a more costly and time-consuming molecular test.
The Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit has taken conduct of the investigation. The investigation is in the early stages, but all indications are that it was targeted. The shooting does not appear to be linked to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
