  • Surrey RCMP on the hunt for a South Asian suspect who assaulted a woman in the summer

Surrey RCMP is looking for your help to identify a man who sexually assaulted a woman in Newton this summer. During the morning of July 14, 2020, a woman was sitting at a bus stop at 144 Street and 78 Avenue when an unknown man sat down beside her and groped her. When the woman confronted the man, he fled on a bicycle.

The woman was physically uninjured and reported the incident to police.

A photograph and a composite sketch have been obtained and, after other avenues of investigation have been unsuccessful, police are asking the public to help identify the suspect (please see the attached photo and composite sketch).

The suspect is described as a South Asian male, 25-years-old, with a round face, no facial hair, and wearing black jeans, a black wind breaker, navy blue socks and a black helmet.

He was riding a white bicycle with neon tape at the base of the seat. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, if you wish to make an anonymous report, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.
