On March 29th, 2023 at around 4:15 p.m., in the 1500 block of Tatlow Ave., the girl was walking alone. The diver and lone occupant of the BMW pulled alongside her, asked where she lived, and offered her a ride. When the girl declined, he followed her while repeating his offer. She repeatedly declined before the driver left the area.
The witness is described as a woman in her 20’s, wearing a black coat and walking a small beige poodle. The witness had a brief interaction with the youth after the man drove away. Investigators are looking to identify and speak with the witness to advance the investigation.
The response prompted a large police presence at the Royal Columbian Hospital. A man is being treated for non-life threatening injuries and two suspects are in police custody.
He was last seen on April 15, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. in the 7000-block of 131 Street in Surrey. Police and family are concerned for Bikramjeet’s health and well-being as it is out of character for him to be out of contact.
