South Asian Bank Robbery Suspect Wanted By Surrey RCMP

Surrey RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance to identify an alleged robbery suspect captured on surveillance cameras.

 

On August 10, 2016 at 3:50 pm, Surrey RCMP received a report of a bank robbery near the intersection of 120th Street and Nordel Way.

 

The suspect produced a weapon and threatened staff before fleeing the scene. Thankfully no one was hurt in the incident.

 

Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit is leading this investigation and has obtained a surveillance photo.

 

The suspect is described as a South Asian male in his early 20's, with a thin build. The suspect was wearing a black and red jacket with white stripes and "West Coast Selects FC" on the upper left chest.

 

Institutional robberies are not victimless crimes, says Corporal Scotty Schumann. It can be a very traumatic incident for anyone involved. Protecting the employees and customers is a priority for police, and by identifying this suspect we can improve safety for all.

 

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.
