Darpan News Desk Surrey RCMP, 07 Oct, 2022 11:05 AM

Update: Both suspects have been identified and their photos have been removed from the initial media release.

Police are requesting the public’s assistance to help identify two additional suspects.

On September 11, 2022, a Surrey RCMP officer was surrounded by a group of males in the parking lot of the Strawberry Hill business complex, after he served a violation ticket to one of the individuals.

Earlier this week on October 4, 2022, a 22 year-old man was arrested for intimidation of the justice system participant and obstruction of a peace officer.

He was released on an Undertaking with a future court date and conditions, which includes not going to the Strawberry Hill Complex.

Police are seeking public assistance with identifying two additional suspects who were allegedly involved in the same incident.

“We encourage these two individuals to come forward and speak to investigators,” says Staff Sergeant Jag Saran, Surrey RCMP South Community Response Unit Commander. “Our teams will continue with ongoing enforcement in this area, in response to numerous community concerns including fights, large gatherings and vehicle stunting.”

Both suspects are described as South Asian men, in their mid to late 20’s.

The first suspect is described as having a full beard and at the time of the incident, he was wearing a blue turban, and a light colored shirt with stripes.
The second is described as having short black hair and a short groomed black beard. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black t-shirt with a large white “Puma” symbol.

Anyone with information about these two suspects is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP
